Blossom derby tweaks

Just a tweak or too to improve game play.

1. It would be nice to see how many people have completed specific blossom tasks. For example we have 23 in derby and quite a few people have completed it already. I'm guessing 20 but it could be 23, I have no idea we are trying to coordinate all that info at this moment.

2. Once all players have completed a blossom task it should disappear and replace with a new task. Now it just sits there completely useless and blocking the board. Requires trashing.

I have to say I love the blossom derby...great idea...great challenge. Nice work SC.

I agree, we have 24 in derby and difficult to know how many have completed the task.

I am liking blossom derby, especially now that we know we can trash. Should have done that in the beginning because we took some horrible tasks., like 26 lemon curds. Made a lot of pies and cakes, but then realized most of my team doesn't have lemons !

So learned you have to trash those tasks if most of your team can't complete.

I think both of these suggestions are well worth considering. If (1) was done, then (2) wouldn't be essential.

IMO, the blossom derby was an inspired idea, but it does require offline communication between hoodies which is pretty challenging to coordinate when you have people in different timezones, with different devices, and with different technical abilities. Having a simple "number completed" in one corner of blossom tasks would solve so many problems, and it sounds like a quick and easy development to me.

I also like both suggestions and I think it would definitely help if the task disappeared when all ‘eligible’ players had completed it.
We had one task where only 5 of the 10 players could work the task because the other 5 were below level for one of the machines, but there was time wasted with the task taking up space on the board while we figured this out.

This variant is more intelligent than a simple count but is also far trickier. One or more players could level up during the lifespan of the task, thus joining the "eligible" pool. The decision to attempt the task or not can be complicated, depending on how complex the task is and how much external support the newly levelled farm is getting. Would be better to have the NH discuss and decide whether to throw the task.

Idea (1) is quite straightforward and will be quite helpful to larger NHs.

Would also like to tag on a request that once i've done a blossom task, it should look different from a task i've done, so i don't have to click every task to check if they are still doable. We did a few truck order blossom tasks last round and i had to click every one of them to find out which one wasn't done, coz they all looked identical on the board.
