Major update to Lingua Franca!

After reviewing feedback from playtests performed by myself and others, I’ve made an update to Lingua Franca to add more zest to the gameplay while preserving the theme and spirit of the game. The base idea is the same: People work together to pick out the correct mission and achieve 3 successes while avoiding 3 failures using only Language Cards as clues.

Digital version: Playingcards.io

Changes to the game include:
• It’s now a 2-4 player game (Formally, only a 2-player game)
• Illustrated Mission Cards with more robust mission depictions (No more icons, which makes for a more challenging experience)
• Improvements to layout and general design (Card backs are closer to the final design)
• A digital version available on Playingcards.io to play for free!
