Isingeniso

Njengoba singena ku-2024, umhlaba we imidlalo yebhodi iyaqhubeka nokudonsa abadlali bayo yonke iminyaka, inikeze ukuphunyuka okujabulisayo endaweni yedijithali. Ngohlu olukhula njalo lwezinketho, ukukhetha umdlalo webhodi ophelele kungaba umsebenzi onzima. Ungesabi, ngoba lo mhlahlandlela ophelele uzosiza abathengisi abaku-inthanethi bazulazule ebunzimeni bemakethe yegeyimu yebhodi, bakuhlomise ngolwazi ukuze wenze isinqumo esinolwazi futhi ukhuphule ulwazi lwamageyimu lwamakhasimende akho lube phezulu.

I-Board Game Market Landscape ngo-2024

Imakethe yemidlalo yamabhodi yomhlaba wonke kulindeleke ukuthi ifinyelele ezigidini eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-18 ngonyaka ka-2024, ngesilinganiso sokukhula sonyaka esihlanganisiwe (CAGR) esingu-13.27% ukusuka ngo-2022 kuya ku-2028.

Ukuqamba okusha ekwakhiweni kwegeyimu kungamandla ashukumisayo, abaklami abahlola amatimu namakhenikha ahlukahlukene, kusukela ekudlalweni kwegeyimu ngokubambisana ukuya ekuxoxeni indaba okugxilile. Imidlalo enelayisense esuselwe kumamuvi adumile, izinhlelo ze-TV, nemidlalo yamavidiyo iyaqhubeka nokuheha abalandeli, isebenzisa izisekelo zabalandeli ezikhona. Ukwengeza, imakethe ihlanganisa wonke umuntu, iheha abantu abaningi, okuhlanganisa imindeni nabadlali abavamile.

Imakethe yegeyimu yebhodi ihlukene kakhulu, enabadlali abakhulu abafana no-Hasbro, Mattel, Ravensburger AG, Asmodee Group, kanye ne-Goliath Games ngokuhlangene ebambe isabelo semakethe esingu-15-20% ngo-2023. Laba baholi bezimboni bazibandakanya ngenkuthalo ezinhlelweni zamasu ezifana nokuhlanganisa, ukunwetshwa kwezikhungo, kanye nobudlelwano babo ukuze banwebe futhi baqinise ubukhona bemakethe yemikhiqizo yabo.

Izinto Ezibalulekile Okufanele Zicatshangwe Lapho Ukhetha Umdlalo Webhodi

Umdlalo Mechanics kanye Inkimbinkimbi

Omakhenikha begeyimu yimithetho esemqoka namasistimu aqondisa ukudlalwa komdlalo webhodi, okuthonya ukuhamba kwawo nomuzwa. Izinga eliyinkimbinkimbi libalulekile, lithinta ukukhanga kwabadlali abahlukene. Abanye bajabulela ukujula namasu emidlalo eyinkimbinkimbi enemithetho eyinkimbinkimbi, njenge-Terraforming Mars noma i-Gloomhaven, kuyilapho abanye bencamela ubulula nokudlala okusheshayo kwemidlalo yephathi evamile, efana ne-Codenames noma i-Dixit.

Ukuthola ibhalansi eyinkimbinkimbi efanelekile kubalulekile ukuze uhlangabezane nezintandokazi zabadlali namazinga wamakhono—imidlalo elula kakhulu ingase ithwale abathanda, kuyilapho imidlalo eyinkimbinkimbi ingase inqobe abadlali abavamile. UJesse van Elteren blog ukuhlaziya okuthunyelwe IbhodiGameGeek idatha iphakamisa ukuthi imidlalo eyinkimbinkimbi ivamise ukuthola izilinganiso eziphezulu, okubonisa ukuchema okungenzeka emphakathini ozinikele wesayithi wokuzilibazisa. Ngakho-ke, ukukhetha imidlalo yebhodi kudinga ukucatshangelwa ngokucophelela kwenkimbinkimbi efiselekayo kanye nezinsimbi zokudlala ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi zihambisana nezethameli ezihlosiwe.

Itimu nokucwiliswa

Imidlalo yebhodi ivamise ukudonsela abadlali ngezindikimba zabo, ibahambise kwezinye izinto ezingokoqobo futhi ithuthukise ukuzibandakanya. Izindikimba ezidumile ezifana nenganekwane, izinganekwane zesayensi nomlando zikhanga ngokukhethekile. Itimu noomakhenika emidlalweni yebhodi kunobudlelwano obulinganayo; itimu eqinile ingakhulisa ukukhanda okuqinile, yengeze ukujula nokuphuthuma emdlalweni wegeyimu.

Ukucwiliswa ukuzibandakanya okujulile okunetimu yomdlalo. Nakuba imidlalo yebhodi ingase inganikezi ukucwiliswa okubonakalayo kwemidlalo yevidiyo, isengakwazi ukudala umuzwa ocacile wendawo ngobuciko, izingxenye, nezinsimbi eziqondaniswe netimu. Ukhiye wokucwiliswa ubuciko obuphoqayo, izingxenye zetimu yekhwalithi ephezulu, umakhenikha wetimu, nokuhlanganiswa kokudlala kwetimu okungenamthungo. Lezi zakhi, uma zisetshenziswe ngempumelelo, zithutha abadlali zibayise endaweni yonke yegeyimu.

Imidlalo efana ne-Gloomhaven, i-Everdell, i-Terraforming Mars, ne-Spirit Island yaziwa ngokujula nokucwiliswa kwetimu, okuthuthukisa ukubandakanyeka kwabadlali. Nokho, akuwona wonke umuntu obeka ingqikithi nokucwiliswa kuqala; abanye bakhetha ubulula bomakhenika. Amageyimu amaqhinga angabonakali, ngisho nangaphandle kwetimu eqinile, asengaheha, abonise izintandokazi zabadlali ezihlukahlukene.

Isibalo somdlali kanye nebanga lobudala

Isibalo sabadlali, imininingwane ebalulekile emabhokisini egeyimu, ithinta kakhulu izinqumo zedizayini. Amageyimu angase aqondise izibalo zabadlali ezithile noma alinganiseke, nakuba ukukala ngokuvamile kuhilela ukuyekethisa. Imidlalo yabadlali ababili ivamise ukugxila ekujuleni kwamaqhinga, kuyilapho abadlali abaningi bethula ukuhlukahluka namandla okungasebenzi. Ukuze kubhekwane nesikhathi sokuphumula kumageyimu wabadlali abane noma ngaphezulu, onjiniyela bangase bengeze izinsimbi ezithile, njengokuthi "isigaba sokwakha esikhethekile" se-Settlers of Catan, esingashintsha umuzwa wokudlala igeyimu.

Ukucabangela ibanga lobudala kuqinisekisa okuqukethwe kwegeyimu nokuba yinkimbinkimbi kufana nezithameli ezihlosiwe. Imakethe yemidlalo yebhodi isukela ezinganeni ezincane kuya kubantu abadala, kanti iqembu leminyaka engu-5-12 lisebenza ngokuphawulekayo. Kodwa-ke, ngeminyaka emaphakathi yabadlali be-tabletop eNyakatho Melika ku-35, ukuzibandakanya kwabantu abadala nakho kubalulekile. Amaqembu obudala ahlukahlukene anezintandokazi ezihlukene, okwenza kubaluleke kakhulu ukuvumelanisa inkimbinkimbi yegeyimu nebanga lobudala eliqondiwe. Imidlalo yomndeni ihlose ukufinyeleleka okubanzi, kuyilapho imidlalo eyinkimbinkimbi ibhekelela abathanda abantu abadala.

Dlala kabusha Inani Nokwandiswa

Ivelu yokudlala kabusha noma ukuphinda udlaleke isho izinga abadlali abafuna ukudlala ngalo igeyimu futhi ngemuva kokuyiqeda kanye noma ngaphezulu. Amageyimu anenani eliphezulu lokudlala futhi agcina abadlali bematasa ngezikhathi eziningi.

- Izinto ezinomthelela ekudlaleni kabusha okuphezulu zifaka:

1) Ukusetha okuguquguqukayo, izindlela eziningi zokunqoba, kanye nokudlala kwegeyimu okuvelayo okwenza umdlalo ngamunye uzizwe uhlukile. Izibonelo zifaka imidlalo efana ne-Spirit Island, i-Brass Birmingham, ne-Concordia.

2) Izandiso ezengeza okuqukethwe okusha, izinselele, nokuhlukahluka kugeyimu eyisisekelo. Ukwandiswa kungaphefumulela impilo entsha kugeyimu futhi kunwebe ubude bayo besikhathi eside.

3) Inani elikhulu labalingiswa abahlukene, amandla, izimo, noma amamojula aguqula umdlalo ukuze axube futhi afanise igeyimu ngayinye. Lokhu kubonakala kumageyimu afana ne-Betrayal at House on the Hill, Marvel Champions, ne-Smallworld.

4) Iluphu yegeyimu ewumongo ejabulisayo noma “injini” abadlali abafuna ukuyihlanganisa kabusha ngokuphindaphindiwe, ngisho nangaphandle kokuhlukahluka kwamathani. Ingqondo iyisibonelo somdlalo olula onokudlala kabusha okuphezulu.

Ukudlala kabusha kuncike; umdlalo ohileleka ngokungapheli kwabanye ungase ubonakale uphindaphinda kwabanye. Okuncamelayo kobunzima bomdlalo, umakhenikha, namatimu kunomthelela emibonweni yokudlala futhi. Abanye baphikisa ngokuthi imidlalo yesimanje igxila kakhulu ekudlaleni kabusha “okusekelwe kokuqukethwe”—engeza okwengeziwe ebhokisini—ngezindleko zokudlala okujulile. Umthelela we-Dominion wenze ukunwetshwa nokusetha okuguquguqukayo kwaba okulindelekile kwebhokisi lokuhlola. Kodwa emnyombweni wako, ukudlaleka kabusha kubonakala kwehlela ku-1) injini yegeyimu ejabulisayo neqinile abadlali abafuna ukuyivakashela kabusha kanye 2) nezinqubo ezengeza izinselele ezihlukahlukene nezinselele ezintsha kuleyo njini ewumongo emidlalweni eminingi. Imidlalo engcono kakhulu edlalekayo ibhalansisa yomibili.

Ikhwalithi Yengxenye kanye Nobuhle

Izingxenye zekhwalithi ephezulu zithuthukisa kakhulu umuzwa wegeyimu. Imisebenzi yobuciko ekhangayo, izithombe ezincane ezinemininingwane, nezinto eziyigugu ezifana nokhuni noma insimbi, kanye nedizayini yezithombe ezicatshangelwayo, zifaka isandla kugeyimu egxile kakhulu nejabulisayo. Ikhwalithi yengxenye ihlanganisa kokubili ubuhle nokusebenziseka—ubuhle buphathelene nokubukeka nomuzwa wezingxenye, kuyilapho okuwusizo kugxile ekusebenzeni kwazo ekudlalweni kwegeyimu. Ngokufanelekile, izingxenye zekhwalithi ephezulu kufanele zivelele kuzo zombili izici.

- Izibonelo zemidlalo eyaziwa ngekhwalithi yayo enhle kakhulu nobuhle zifaka:

1) I-Wingspan - Ifaka umsebenzi wobuciko omuhle namadayisi angokwezifiso ekhwalithi ephezulu, amaqanda, nendlu yezinyoni

2) I-Brass: I-Birmingham - Inebhodi elivusa amadlingozi elinezinhlangothi zasemini/ebusuku, futhi iza nama-premium poker chips kuhlelo lwe-deluxe

3) ILanga Eliphumayo - Laziwa ngama-miniatures alo anemininingwane eminingi futhi ahlaba umxhwele

4) Takenoko - Isebenzisa izingxenye zokhuni ezimibalabala, izingcezu zoqalo ezimise okwezifiso, kanye nesithombe se-panda esihle ukwenza ingqikithi yayo iphile.

Imidlalo ekhiqizwe ngokweqile ingagcizelela kakhulu ubuhle, mhlawumbe ngezindleko zokusebenza. Umugqa "okhiqizwe ngokweqile" uqhathaniswa "wekhwalithi ephezulu" uncike. Abalandeli bemidlalo ye-Euro eyinkimbinkimbi bavamise ukubeka kuqala oomakhenikha kunokubonwayo, bamelele ukutshalwa kwezimali ekuthuthukisweni nasekuhlolweni kokudlala ngaphezu kobuhle. Kodwa-ke, abadlali abaningi bajabulela ukwaneliseka okuthintekayo kwezingxenye ezikhangayo, zekhwalithi, ukuthuthukisa isipiliyoni nokuheha abadlali abasha. Njengoba imakethe yegeyimu yebhodi iba ngokuncintisana kakhulu, okulindelwe kwekhwalithi kuyanda, nobuhle obuvelele bungasiza amageyimu agqame.
