Playtester for Online Boardgame

cjgames.com

This is a Contract position in Anywhere posted March 5, 2014.

I’m looking for playtesters for my boardgame “Puppetmaster Endgame”.

I will pay $8/hour in BTC or LTC (using the latest price on the leading exchanges).

Requirements:
– You need be able to read/write English well enough to understand the game and write your opinion on it.
– You need to install and be able to use the Vassal game engine (http://www.vassalengine.org/). We will use this program to play the game online.
– You need to have Skype (for the introduction).

Preferred:

Experienced gamers

You can read more about the game here:
http://cjgames.com/index.php?page=puppetmaster_endgame

You will find links at the bottom of the page where you can download the rules (PDF) and the Vassal module.

The maximum number of playtesters I will need is 6. I will preferably choose an experienced gamer.

Procedure:
1.) You download the rules and have a look.
2.) We agree on a time to player a 2-player introductory game. We use Skype to talk during that session.
3.) You participate on one or more online matches with multiple players (using Vassal). We schedule the date/time on doodle.com.
4.) You write your opinion on the game (at least 100 words) and fill out a questionnaire.
5.) I pay you in BTC/LTC according to amount of time you spent playing the games and writing your opinion (points 2-4).

My time zone is GMT+1 (Central Europe). We will either play in the evenings during the week or anytime on the weekend. A game usually takes a bit more than an hour (depending on the number of players).

This is a short project of something like 5-10 hours. Since I am continually developing board games, I might have more need for playtesters in future, too.

If you have any questions please post in this thread.

You can PM me or post in this thread if you wish to participate.
