Placebo Love
author=Hasvers
It's alive and it's so good!! Merlandese, you do not disappoint. Did my first playthrough in one sitting a few weeks back, in defiance of sleep and good sense. Will play again whenever the opportunity arises!
(also, while on the topic of gratulating, 1. Lure is currently the most played boardgame in my household, and 2. Prisha's lines were priceless)
Holy heck, I don't know what to be flattered about most right now, thanks a lot, Hasvers! Really glad you liked Placebo Love! I'm going to patch a little soon that might add some slight interactions post-max bond. Not exactly efficient but some people seem to want it, and honestly it was in the original scope (scope cut casualty).
And also super glad you liked LURE. We've been playing with a little house rule where you have a coin that moves to the most recent animal to arrive in the garden, and that animal costs 1 extra to collect while the coin is on them. Kind of mitigates people snatching a fresh animal before your turn can come back around. Try it out! :)

How many music tracks would you need to replace?
It'd unfortunately be a lot, like even if I reused tracks it'd have to be at least like twenty.
Only twenty!? That ain't a lot! I wonder if you could crowdsource the remaining pieces of the OST from the community. I'd pitch in a couple tracks and some SFX if needed/possible. Go panhandling!
Steam can be tricky, just DM me or Tweet at me or something if you need any help. I'm sure Housekeeping and the others can help, too. It's not as daunting as it looks.

There's plenty of good quality of life and accessibility reasons for it to be on Steam. Even on Steam for free, or cheap.

I've had some trouble finding a perfect answer for this so I'll just ask: The reason this gem isn't on Steam is because of the music?
Placebo Love
HASVERS! Been awhile, man. Sucks to hear you've put a coma on gam mak but that's life. Gam Mak is a fickle beast. I'm definitely adding some Mircea Eliade to my Goodreads list.
Thanks for all the hype, Benny! I know what you have in mind for your own vision of this style of game and I hope Placebo Love scratches that itch without taking your own best ideas.
Placebo Love should be done this year. It's really picked up steam and it's basically just down to the testing phase and the eternal polish stage. I'll pass some keys out when it's cleaner. ;)

Yep! I've been trying to work with people to optimize a mobile version. Then we'll release PC multiplayer versions simultaneously. So far so good, but it's still not ready for release. :)
The updated version will hopefully have less lag, if any at all.

Wow, really? That's... insane! I've installed this game on multiple computers and haven't had this come up yet.
Hm. It looks like Windows 10 has had a problem with removing fonts for a long time. Which is really strange. I'm using Windows 10 and I've deleted and re-installed that exact font five times now.
Did you use the Installer version?
Thanks for the warning! I'll add a note in the game information on Itch, too. :)

If I were you, for the sake of completeness, I would as well show the AI's score during the game.
There's a big lesson in game building like this where you can't show both the End of the game and the Full Score at the same time. It's a tricky thing to explain, but the simplest way is this: If you know that the game is beating you by 10 points and you only have five turns left, you might lose all hope and stop trying, or you'll just quit the game. It saps the enjoyment whether you're ahead or losing. It's probably not a big deal with the computer (since they don't care if they lose against you) but this definitely happens in the real-life game, and would certainly happen in online multiplayer.
The early versions had the score shown, and at one point had a tug-of-war style track as well, and all of these fell flat. After researching board games more I realized the either End or Full Score "rule" and changed the Full Score to be hidden info. :)
