One of the best Games to come out! 👩🏻📠 I really like this game. The theme, gameplay and all the pieces with strategy behind it! It is a medium level game. But that being said, its not a difficult game to understand. Because Everything revolves around your computer!
The Equation feature to score points is very unique and innovative. Very cool to see new ideas are still being created into todays boardgame world!

I am so excited to be checking out a prototype of Ada’s Dream. This game is based off of a brilliant and badass woman and I can’t wait to tell you all about it once I’ve logged my first play!
A huge thank you to @alleycatgames for sending me this prototype to play! This game is live on Kickstarter right now, it went live yesterday, check out @alleycatgames for more information on that!
Ps. This is a prototype and the final game will look a little different than the version in this video!

✨Kickstarter Preview✨
💻Ada’s Dream💻
Ada’s Dream is an upcoming Kickstarter game by designer Toni Lopez and produce by @alleycatgames who very kindly let us try the game. Everything you see here is in prototype form and subject to change but it should give you an idea about what you’ll get.
This is a big euro game that has you helping Ada Lovelace, a mathematician and a pioneer in programming, fulfill her dream of building the first computer. It has dice drafting, it has tracks, all wrapped in a great setting. On your turn you’ll either draft a die or use a previously drafted die for a main action depending on its color.
The way you draft a die is very clever, the spot where you draft will give you a bonus, the color is which action you can do later and the number lets you play powerful partner cards (usually 1s, 2s and 3s) or it gives you more points (high pip values). It’s a very clever system with a big decision tree just to draft a die.
The other type of turn is an action with your die, interacting with the 4 other sections on the board, all with their own track where you get better actions and its own bonus actions:
🎓The institution where you’ll place disc and get lots of resources.
🧳Travel where you move on a map visiting towns and universities.
👩💼Meetings where you get new partner cards.
📖Ada’s Study to get gears, assignment cards and program tiles.
This part reminded me of games like Federation or Marrakesh with distinctive mini games you can focus on and get all sorts of points. But the main way to earn VPs is the dice on your board, gettin rid of disc to place dice with gears to add, subtract or multiply their values.
Im just scratching the surface here but it’s safe to say this is a game that will appeal to mid/heavy euro gamers (like ourselves), the game is rich in decisions, it has a cool main hook of dice drafting and then adding and multiplying their values, it has an interesting and unique theme and a great production even as a prototype.
Let us know your questions and stay tuned for the KS later this month 👇🏻.
