I re-uploaded the files to be easier to assemble.
Here are a few pictures from my recent build of the game...

What do you think?

I like your idea, however I have 2 points of criticism

* I'm not sure if I like the modifications you made to the gameplay (have my doubts about the extra points cards, development cards, I like the rainbow hex, not sure yet about the rainbow port) and is it correct you don't use extra development cards for 5/6 players?
* What WoO story did you use? In the L. Frank Baum books, the Wicked Witch of the West isn't called Elphaba and I don't think the names you chose match the Gregory Maguire books either.

Also your files are incorrect. In the .pdf downloadable separately you have different extra points cards and there are cards missing in the corresponding .pdf in the .zip

Also, what paper size are your files meant to be printed on?

I think this could be a really great themed version of Settlers, but it isn't there yet.

I re-designed this game specifically with my wife in mind. She thinks the game is too long and the extra points cards were to help speed it up a bit. The rainbow port was just to add a little more luck (It's one of her favorite things about the game) I thought I added in the rules about printing more cards for 5/6, if I didn't it was an oversight.

I did a fair amount of research before putting this game together.
Elphaba is the name of the Wicked Witch of the West from Wicked, the Gregory Maguire musical/book sensation. It's supposedly L. Frank Baum run together phonetically.
Hunk, Zeke, and Hickory are the scarecrow, lion, and tin man in real life (the characters on the farm)

The zip and rar are outdated files

I printed the files on letter paper.

Thanks for your interest!

Yeah, I know Elphaba comes from L.F.B.
However, the Lion is called Brrr in the book by G. Maguire, and the Scarecrow is known as Fiyero, and the Tin Man is called Boq, or Moq in the German/Dutch translations. Because Zeke, Hunk and Hickory don't appear in the G. Maguire universe.

Might I suggest you add a table to the rules with a printing guideline so you won't have to calculate how many times you need to print which page.

hmm.. Letter paper, that's DIN A4 with a small strip cut off the bottom, that is ok. Otherwise European downloaders would have problems with images falling off the edges

I'm not sure which book I read, it was at my grandma's house. In that book, no characters have names. I took most of my inspiration from the movie, but since neither the book nor movie had a name for the Wicked Witch, I turned to Maguire, the musical because my wife plays it during her portion of the driving on road trips.

Did I not provide directions on how many pages to print out either? Man, I'm a slacker...

Sorry, Letter's the norm in the states, I didn't even think twice to mention it
