Game Design - Brainstorming

•  Dice rolling for attack power or space movement

•  Colorful theme = Cute , Neutrals = Darker game

• Maybe Felt or quilt theme (Can you fabric be scanned clearly? test)

• Fantasy theme would pair well with detailed characters

• Hexagonal tiles look cool but can come off as over complicated (Maybe)

• Bluffing and lying mechanics can make the game more interesting depending on the players playing

     ○ Increases paranoia in players
     ○ Can be paired with a penalty system

• Roles can be fun BUT must be correctly balanced

• Lighthearted themes can be fun and are welcomes

       ○ Ex. Animals, Dinos, Cute Stuff

• Card deck or game board with full illustrations are more interesting and appealing

• Make the backing of cards a solid color

     ○ Will not line up perfectly when double sided printing

• Make the Instructions 1 page long No Longer!!

• Could be interesting to make the instruction page easily foldable in order to store flat pieces (Ex. Bomb Squad #9 )

• Consider making stand­up cut out pieces which can be flattened again

• Memorization in a group can be interesting but will require many cards to make game last longer

• Keep instructions organized and simple

• Use bullets and numbers to make things clean and keep the players attention

• Shuffable map which can make every game round different (ex. The Search)

• Random chance based off card deck or dice

• Customizable map idea (Ex. Battleship)

• Attack pieces with roles based on characters (Ex. Chess)

• Acting could be fun to play with but would be determined far too much on the peopleplaying and could be uncomfortable/not easily doable for some
