Hey Srav, I’ve been tinkering with the idea of a board game that morphs on the fly—pieces shift unpredictably, but the overall system still keeps a solid balance. How would you break that down into a clear, step‑by‑step framework?

Sravneniya 1. Define the core objective of the game – what players are trying to achieve 2. Decide the type of “morph” you want (pieces move, board tiles change, rules shift) 3. List all mechanical elements that will be affected by the morph (movement, attack, resource flow) 4. Create a base rule set that works before any morph occurs 5. For each potential morph state, draft a concise “morph rule” that overrides or modifies the base rules 6. Balance each morph state against the others using play‑tests and statistical data 7. Establish clear triggers for morphs (turn count, event cards, player actions) 8. Build a quick reference guide that shows: base rules, morph triggers, and the active morph rules at any time 9. Iterate: playtest, collect feedback, adjust the morph effects or trigger frequency 10. Finalize the rules, produce an accessible rulebook, and make sure the balance feels solid in every morph scenario.

Nice roadmap, Srav. Just remember the whole “morph” thing can get wild—keep the base rules tight and the overrides simple so you’re not stuck trying to decode a new rule set every time the board throws a curveball. Good luck balancing the chaos!
