5 game ideas that revolve around a single theme of of your choice. if your theme is time traveling ducks, then all five ideas need to be different games that utilize the same time traveling ducks theme any idea off theme will not earn a point. continue to follow the idea formatting rule:
I accidentally already covered this topic in week 3, regarding games revolving around color. One of the ideas morphed into the original concept for A Game About Color, More Or Less. The original rules of that game were as follows:
A Game About Colors, More or Less… — Version 1 Rules
SETUP
- Place the 12×18 game mat in the center. It shows rectangles A, B, C, and a color key.
- Shuffle the 48-card Solid Color Deck and place it color side up on rectangle A.
- Leave room for each player’s personal pile and a discard pile.
GAMEPLAY
- Youngest player goes first, clockwise afterward.
Player Turn Sequence:
a. Move the top two cards from Pile A: one to B, one to C, both color side up.
b. Roll the six-sided die to determine the active color using the board’s key.
c. Compare the two revealed color sides on B and C, declaring which is more/less of the rolled color.
d. Flip both cards to reveal numeric values for C, M, Y, R, G, and B.
Higher number = more. Lower number = less. Matching values = Good Luck (automatic win).
e. Correct or Good Luck → player keeps both cards. Incorrect → both to discard pile D.
f. Turn ends; next player draws new cards to B and C and repeats.
END OF ROUND AND WINNING
- Round ends when all 48 cards from Pile A have been used.
- Players count only cards in their personal piles and record scores.
- Shuffle all cards and start a new round.
- A game can only be won at the end of a round. First to reach 50 total points wins.
Example of Gameplay
It’s Maya’s turn, and she’s the active player.
She takes the top two cards from Pile A and places one on B and one on C, both color side up.
She rolls the die and gets a 2.
According to the color key, a 2 means she has to compare the cards for magenta.
Maya looks at the two color swatches on B and C. After studying them, she decides that the card on B looks like it has more magenta than the card on C. She says, “B has more magenta.”
Now she flips both cards over to check their values.
Card B shows a magenta value of 58.
Card C shows a magenta value of 42.
Her guess was correct, so she takes both cards and adds them to her personal pile.
Her turn is over, and the next player repeats the same steps with two new cards.
