You heard right, it's ready for testing. We are going to open up a couple of beta games throughout the day today. I will fill the spots with the first people to reply after I post a new game message. I will be posting the map to be used, the number of players, and any variants that will be used. Each player will only be allowed to join 1 beta game at a time. At the end of the beta session we will fix any bugs that are found and if all goes well the game will be made public.

There are a couple of requirements for taking part in the beta test.

1. Please have a basic understanding of the game rules. We need players to pay close attention to the game, double check their scores, verify that the rules are implemented correctly.
2. We request that these games be played quickly. The sooner the beta testing ends the sooner we can get the game public.
3. We expect all beta testers to give us feedback on the game. Suggestions on improvements, problems found, things they like. Use the message board in the games to post questions and feedback. We will be monitoring all games.

If you can handle those three things feel free to sign up for the beta. The first game will be a 5 player game on the "chewed dog bone" map. No variants will be used in this first game.

Myke & Ryan

As a new player to the game, I can test that perspective and let you know if things are unclear, or language needs to be reworded, or if mechanics don't seem to operate the way they say they should. Think of me as the lowest common denominator.

I'd love to help test Hacienda. I imagine several of the BGGFriends would, too. Ekted would be your toughest customer. Laughing

Reply! I know the game not that bad and I've played it on Yucata, so I might give additional input.
