Ben – Occupational proper postures: For this game, you would have to correct people’s postures by manually adjusting their bodies before OSHA comes over to inspect. You would start with a lot of time, but as the game progresses, you’d have less and less time to correct someone’s posture before OSHA came over.
Mia – Food deserts: There is a board with fixed food store locations. Each player represents a town. On each turn, you will have to move one space further away from the food store. Then you will have the option of going for food, bribing the government to move your town back closer to the food stores, or fighting the other towns for resources. There will also be either cards to pull or dice to roll that will randomly impact the game as it progresses.
Max – baby formula shortage: You are a struggling young mother several states away from all of your family. You will have to check your stores for baby formula (they don’t have much) but also call upon your family members to check their stores for formula. If your family finds formula, you have to figure out a way to get it from them (rolling dice to move maybe?) before your baby goes hungry.
Clay – Urban Sprawl: There are 2 objectives in this game: spread your city as far as you can and keep people in the city happy. Each turn you must expand your city, but you have to be strategic as to which expansion tiles you lay down. Too many apartment buildings/not enough green space etc. will make people upset. If people get upset, they will leave and your city will shrink again. Maybe also add in things like geographical boundaries (ie rivers, mountains) that force you to expand in one direction. Each player is trying to make the biggest city by the end of x amount of rounds.
Ronan – Retirement homes: You are a nurse at a retirement home who hates old people. You must try to cause as much medical negligence to the occupants of the nursing home without the other nurses catching on. However, if you find evidence of someone else’s medical negligence, you must report it and help to fix the issue. If your negligence is reported three times, you are fired. You must try to cause the most negligence without being discovered or fired before the nursing home shuts down (due to bad press coverage).
