GAME IDEAS
1. Shooting Stars: The Card Game

Overview: Over several rounds, players construct teams and employ strategies to outperform their rivals in this strategic soccer card game.•

Goal: Utilizing player, tactic, and action cards, score more goals than your rival

Play: Each player puts together a team of eleven cards, consisting of defenders, forwards, midfielders, and a goalie, each with a different set of talents and abilities (e.g., speed, strength, playmaking). Attack, midfield control, and defense are the phases of the match that each turn symbolizes. To make decisions, players select cards from a deck of tactic cards that represent attacking maneuvers, defensive arrangements, etc. Dice rolls and player stats are combined to determine the outcome of goal attempts; players can use cards to alter the result (such as “Power Shot” or “Perfect Save”).

Winning: Following a set of goals, the player with the most goals wins

2. ORION OPS: FPS Card Battle

Overview: A fast-paced card game inspired by FPS battles, where players must balance offense, defense, and resource management to outgun their opponent.

Objective: Reduce the opponent’s health to zero using weapon, equipment, and tactic cards.

Gameplay: Players build a deck that includes weapon cards (e.g., rifles, pistols, grenades), equipment cards (e.g., armor, shields), and tactic cards (e.g., “Flank,” “Headshot,” “Heal”). Each player starts with a set amount of health, and the goal is to use their cards to deal damage while avoiding or mitigating the opponent’s attacks. Weapon cards have varying damage and range, requiring players to think strategically about positioning and timing (e.g., a “Sniper Rifle” card might do high damage but take longer to play). Players can “reload” or use special “Power-Up” cards to enhance their strategy.

Winning: The player who reduces the opponent’s health to zero first wins the game.

3. Kingdom Tales

Overview: This game is based on the famous Ghanaian folklore, where players take on the roles of different characters attempting to outwit each other to gather the most wisdom.

Objective: Players compete to gather “wisdom points” by playing tricks, telling stories, and completing challenges inspired by Anansi’s cleverness.

Gameplay: Players begin by selecting a character from Ghanaian folklore, each with a unique ability that represents their skills in trickery (e.g., Anansi, the Spider, can steal points, Kwaku can charm others). The game is played in rounds, with each player drawing from a deck of “Story” and “Trick” cards. Players can use these cards to challenge each other, perform tricks, or avoid being tricked. Special “Wisdom” cards offer insight or solutions to avoid getting tricked, while “Obstacle” cards introduce challenges like the “Bola Bird” or “Tortoise’s Slowdown.” Storytelling is a key aspect, where players must narrate short tales based on the cards they play, adding a creative and cultural twist to the game.

Winning: The first player to collect a set number of wisdom points (e.g., 10) wins the game, symbolizing the accumulation of Anansi’s wisdom.

4. Anansi’s Web of Tricks

Overview: Anansi’s Web of Tricks is a fast-paced, trickster-themed card game where players take on the roles of characters from Ghanaian folklore, each with unique abilities.

Gameplay: Initial Hand: Players are dealt 5 cards each (from the Trick, Action, and Number card decks). The remaining deck is placed face-down as a draw pile, and the top card is flipped over to form a discard pile. Character Abilities: During their turn, a player can choose to use their character’s unique ability once per round to help discard cards or sabotage opponents.

Winning: The player who successfully discards all of their cards wins the round. If multiple rounds are played, keep track of scores, and the first player to win three rounds is the overall winner.

5. Temple Path

Overview: Be the first player to reach the center of the temple by strategically placing path pieces that guide your character toward the go

Gameplay: The board starts completely empty, with a temple center marked as the destination. Players must build their own paths to reach the center. Players must connect their starting point to the center by placing path pieces, one at a time, according to the cards they play. Paths can overlap or intersect, and players can attempt to block or reroute opponents 

Winning: The first player to create a continuous path that leads to the center of the temple wins the game.
