Game Ideas Week 6

5 ideas for simulations

  1. A city planning simulator. Players design systems of transportation to account for growth and traffic issues. 
  2. A game that simulates space exploration, but operating off a deck building mechanic like that of Dominion. I would incorporate discoveries that would dictate the strength of a hand at any given moment to keep it dynamic.
  3. Players work as a nurse at an understaffed hospital. They must prioritize patients with limited time and resources. The game would simulate the pressure and emotional strain of working in healthcare.
  4. An educational game in which players are challenged with repairing lines of code to earn points and prevent system failure.
  5. An air traffic control simulation where a player manages multiple flights at one time and avoids collision or delay.

5 game ideas that are serious

  1. A collaborative card game in which players keep their town from flooding. They must stack barrier cards and share limited resources.
  2. A resource management game, inspired by the game Catan, that allows players to explore scarcity.
  3. A trading based game where Teams start with a small, random, item and must trade up to having the one that is “most valuable”. This would be determined by rolling dice and drawing cards to either progress or lose everything.  
  4. A new chess game that utilizes the concept of suits the way that cards do. It would be a deception game centered around a theme of crime and corruption. I would also be interested in modifying the board to be interactive 3-Dimensionally. 
  5. A murder mystery card game that utilizes the collaborative card set up of Hanabi, but instead of building suits, players exchange information to find the killer.
