B-mods

What's a 'B-Mod'?

B-mod is short for balancing modification.

These modifications, developed specifically for individual games, are designed to level the playing field when playing games with children of different ages. Younger children get certain bonuses, which come in a range of different forms, giving them a much greater chance of winning against older children and adults.

This handicap system also enables any adults or older children to play to the best of their ability without the danger of a landslide victory.

Once a child wins a game against another player of a higher level, they level up and will have reduced bonuses the next time they play. In this way, over many plays, they will hope to progress to adult capability. If they ever manage to reach the top level and then defeat an adult without any bonuses, they win a reward which is set when the B-mod is first printed.

Sounds great, right?!

It is! Download one of the B-mods below to try it out!

Page 2 of the PDF has detailed instructions on how to use the mods.

Available b-mods:

B-mods can be of 3 different levels – alpha, beta and gamma. These levels represent how confident we are that the modifications balance things appropriately. To help us level up our mods from alpha to beta and higher, please leave feedback when you try them!

We expect to be adding more B-mods every month from November 2024, so do check back here or follow us on social media for updates.

We’ll add social media links here very soon!
