While preparing the #SotMCAT2015 the creator reborn the idea of create a boardgame inspired in OSM. The game was originally written in catalan.

After some weeks preparing the idea, designing the images and cards the game started being build as an alpha prototype. The game was build using cheap materials and printed cardboard.
The game was presented at the end of the meeting, as a gift to the OSM community. After the meeting the idea was published online through Twitter. Some people started to ask where they can acquire the game.
The beta prototype starts trying to find a place or platform to be edited and published.
The Game Crafter platform was chosen because the easy use and the possibility to edit, publish and distribute through the same platform.

In November 3th the first beta prototype was released and sent to the creator as a condition from TheGamCrafter to publish a game. The game images and files were changed and improved, then the game was published. The price was set at $30.99 which means that without the costs ($30.18), there's a $0.81 benefit (split in 30% for TheGameCrafter, $0.24 and 70% for the creator, $0.57.

After the game was published, the info was notified to the OSM community by Twitter. The idea started to receive a lot of good opinions from several Twitter users. Then, some tweets alerted the creator about the OSM trademarks policy.
When the creator realised the problem using the OSM trademark, the game was unpublished until the problem is solved. The creator contacted OSMF asking for advice to correct the project problems following the instructions he red in a tweet.
Simon Poole provided some instructions and suggestions to the creator to solve the problems.
The gamma prototype started by redesigning the game and offering OSMF the possibility to add their Paypal account to the payout methods so they could receive the 70% of the benefits.
The game name was changed, into a different one: EDIFY the map
The game was redesigned and all the images an material created by the author were sent to OSMF (CWG and Legal) and Simon Poole
