Visiting Kaunas V2

article Ideas calendar_today 2021-08-01 22:02:29

A few weeks ago I published the game about tourists visiting Kaunas. I wasn’t happy with the way event card worked, so I though about it a lot. I think, I found a better way. For that I had to redesign all event cards and event board, but all the rest parts of the game are mostly the same.

People like to talk about multi-use cards. Let’s talk about multi-use dice.

Visiting Kaunas

This is my second game in the visiting series, however this one is not a small game for tourist. This one is big. Original idea was to represent some cities, but as I started thinking how to represent Kaunas best, the game could fit into a small frame. Let’s talk about it.

Imagine that culture department (or tourism agency) came to you and asked to create a game for the tourist. Of course there are limitations. The most important one – game has to be small, tourist don’t have a lot of space in their bags. So think about something like in Tiny epics or Button shy games. Game shouldn’t have a lot of components, that tourist wouldn’t loose them by accident. And the last one but not the least one – it has to represent the city tourist are visiting. 

What kind of game would you make?

I love to watch car racing on TV, however I don’t have any racing games in my collection. So, let’s create one.

Drag race is the best kind of race. It’s just you and the road. There is no turning or braking. Just pure speed. You. Road. Speed. 

Let’s start the race.

A few days earlier I presented my idea for game: Bear beer deer ear tear. It is two player tug of war game. I though to myself, how would I make it 4 player game? I had to throw out all old mechanics and create the new one. Let’s talk about it.

Don’t get drunk on the beer, especially if you are a deer. Bear might snack on your ear and the only thing you could do – is to shed a tear.

Desert Salad

I want to create a game which you could play in the plane. I think the game should meet the following conditions:

    • Take little space: you don’t have much space in the plane, only tiny tray deck.

    • Should be for 2 people and only 2 (I don’t think that I am ready to start making solo games, however I did make solo adventure games in the past).

    • Game should be interesting enough to play for an hour or so. 

In this game we are making fruit salad, we are throwing five types of fruit, but you can’t throw the same fruit twice.

Let’s talk about public transportation one more time. I explained the theme in the original post and later created second version, because I didn’t like mechanics in the original. Let me present you with the third version. 

In this game, you take a task of caching people, who don’t want to play for public transportation. Bus stops at 4 stops, but you can choose to check only 2 of them, be wise about your choice, because other players will also want to check the bus.
