It would be really nice if the artistic people among us were to create a nice-looking set of game components for SotSS:tBG, such as custom Resource cards and Budge cards, an attractive game board design, and so forth.

But that could take ages, and even if it didn't, it could be prohibitively costly for people to print the artwork onto card stock, or for one or two people to hand-make entire sets and ship them out to those who want them.

So I wanted to design the basic game to use cheap, readily available components, and if it turns out to be worthwhile, maybe create a "deluxe" version later on with the nice artwork, movie screen grabs, and so forth.

What you'll need to play the game, currently, is:

* 1 sheet of posterboard, on which you draw the simple board areas such as the Sleep Meter and the Scoreboard.

* 2 decks of playing cards, preferably with different designs to distinguish Sinbad's deck from Jaffar's.

* A few generic game markers, or coins, to serve as the Sleep marker, etc.

* The printable rules, which will be available as a text file (and possibly a PDF).

* The printable scenarios and Budge cards (the latter of which you'll need to cut out from the printed sheet).

At this point, that's pretty much it. Thoughts?
