Hi,
im aware there's a project here in place attempting to improve on prodos existing board game.
However ive given the bug hunt rules a try and enjoyed it alot however the rules don't support 3 way alien vs pred vs marines and the rules for preds are very limited so I decided to expand upon the rules set alot and have play tested this twice by myself and wanted to share with you guys for feedback. If you could give it a play test as well and let me know what you yhinj that would be great!
Rules for bug hunt avp version
http://tabletoptitans.com/rules/0002.ph ... 1455997406Additional rules by myself
Nickie's AVP mod
[ setting up the board: I found random tile generation cumbersome and I decided to just set up the board as I see fit with egg caches and doors in strategiccally equal places. I find randomising room tiles more exciting for the game.
