On Paper Giants
On Paper Giants is a hex-grid two player resource management board game where you must utilize a crumbling infrastruture to build a new more efficient and sustainable infrastructure in order to produce and secure more resources than your opponent, all while your old infrastructure falls apart around you.

Same as above ^^, making a tabletop game seem so interesting and I may have to try that for the next LD (if theme allow). Sadly I don't think I can try your game before the end of the notation period.
But I have some questions:
- Have you tried different maps? water tiles seem quite impacting.
- Is it allowed to build put an infrastructure (even crumbling ones?) on a tile of the opponent's colour?
- have thought of the possibility of stealing the resources of the opponent? like on a large scale? with maybe a tunnel in the middle of their starting area?
Anyway well done !!

This game has a unique view on the theme, and although I don't really have anyone to play it with during lockdown, it seems to mix a Catan-style thing with the game's aesthetic.
When setting out your rules, I'd probably put the premise/how to win at the top, so it's clear what the objective is and how the game works overall. I had to read it a couple times just to make sure I got it right. However overall, the rules were very detailed and it didn't leave me with any questions, so that's awesome work~
I think there are a number of approaches you could take with this game, given that the end goal is Resources but you have to decide between immediate production vs forward-looking capital. In fact, this is quite an issue facing many economies today (capital vs consumer good production, PPC) so I thought that was quite cool.
Finally, making a Craft game for Ludum Dare is awesome! Most of the submissions, including mine, were video games, so to see a Craft game was quite cool!
