Sweet greetings Crusaders!
Marzimallow is waiting for you to visit in our latest colouring sheet Candyland, which you can find on our website!
Or, if you're feeling creative, you can submit your Crusaders fanart!
If we get 50 coloured sheets shared at us on our Twitter with the hash tags #lostidolscolouring and #marzimallow or shared here on reddit by Thursday, April 15th, 2021 at 4pm (16:00) Pacific Time (UTC-7), then we'll release a code for a 7 day long 200% Spawn Speed buff redeemable by all players. We'll be combining this week's submissions with the last few weeks to get closer to the goal. 19 more to go!
They can be coloured physically or digitally.
Clarification: Since this is a community activity, we'd like to see entries from across the community. So we'll be accepting a max of 5 colouring sheets from the same username per activity.
Coloured sheets are shown off on our Crusaders of the Lost Idols Q&A livestream, live on the CNE Games twitch channel. The streams are at Thursdays at 10am Pacific Time (UTC-7.) VODs are available on Twitch and we also post the stream to our Codename youtube channel eventually.
Have fun, and we're looking forward to seeing your colourful creations!

[Colouring Catch-Up Round 2](
I’d like to discuss Candyland with you. Everyone knows that the outcome of the game depends entirely on the shuffle of the deck. There are no choices, no strategy or decision making ability, nor any randomness after the deck is shuffled. The winner is just a matter of time, predetermined.
But what if we tweaked the rules to add some Player Agency. Sure, one way is to simply add a die/dice, or add components like Wreck it Ralph (“Bob the Destroyer”),
https://www.reddit.com/r/BoardgameDesign/comments/ext91m/modding_the_nostalgic/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
and I’m certainly open to those ideas as well, but I’d prefer to focus mainly on just changing the rules and see where that goes.
So with that in mind, I submit my ideas here and I’d love to hear your ideas, as well as your critiques/comments on mine.
-
Direction choice. You get to choose whenever you go forwards or backwards to the color on your card.
-
Draw 2. Draw two cards and choose which you play.
-
Save for later. Draw two cards, play one now and save the other for later. Maybe limit it to only one saved card.
-
Deal a hand. Deal five cards to each player. On your turn, you draw a card then play one of the six in your hand. Alternative: You can also draw a card from the ‘already played’ pile.
-
Reshuffle. Reset the deck after each turn or round, a ‘turn’ being each individual player’s draw, a ‘round’ being every time it gets back to Player 1’s turn.
-
Meeple Choice. The player that draws a card gets to choose either move yourself forward or move your opponent backwards. You can move your opponent backwards only once per color. Your opponent then keeps the color card as proof it’s been used.
-
Drafting. Deal three cards face up. On your turn you can either play one of those or draw blind from the deck. With drafting, the strategy becomes Do I take the Orange and Move 5 or take the Purple and only move 2 but stop my opponent from moving 6.
Addendums/Additions:
-
Press your luck. After their move, the player may draw a second card. If it’s a different color, they move forward, but if it’s the same color they have to move backwards to that color, effectively making no progress.
-
Hop. If you land on the same space as another player, you hop ahead to the next space. Alternatively, you hop ahead to the next space that matches your card.
Wondering if Candyland theme is only for girls? My 3yr old boy loves candies and I am contemplating if I can pick Candyland theme for his upcoming 4th bday. Thanks for all your suggestions in advance!
Okay, hear me out. Candyland is a zero-player game. Once you establish how many people are participating, and shuffle the cards, the entire outcome is predetermined. There are no choices to make, the only randomizing event occurs before play begins. If you took the deck after a game, and put it back the same way it was before, the game would end in the same way.
This fits with the Cardassian mindset, given their version of a murder mystery -- it's established from the beginning who is guilty, the only drama comes from watching the investigation play out.
Do you know how much fucking skill it takes to flick a spinner to your color? Shits been lit since 2013. Get the fuck outta here with your bullshit hate.
I really want to play Candyland with my kids, but I'm just not sure how to make it more age appropriate for them. What do?
