Game Ideas -Colin Kenny

  1. Based on the website https://www.whatbeatsrock.com, What Beats Rock: The Home Game. Players take turns naming an item that could “beat” the previous item (or a rock if you’re first) and the other players act as judges to decide if their item would “beat” the previous item.
  2. Dice Stack. A deck of cards tells the players a required dice roll and a required formation to stack the dice once they are rolled. Player who does it first gets a point.
  3. SHOE-ffleboard, A large twister-like mat/board is set up and players take turns throwing either their own shoes or smaller shoe item onto it for points.
  4. Players take turns placing cards from a standard deck in a pile while naming the card placed before them. If they mess up, they take the pile. First to run out of cards wins.
  5. For a while I’ve wondered if I can host a game of Survivor on campus for a club or a Rmu TV project. People would get broken into teams, each round a team would win Immunity and the losing team would have to vote someone out. Then everyone gets split up individually, voting continues, etc. until s jury votes for the winner.

  1. Shoe-ffleboard is a great title. Is this something to played across campus, like a frisbee golf course? Would a custom shoe-ffleboard need to be created? Would leagues be crafted based on shoe size?

  2. I had never heard of the What Beats Rock game before, but I think that could be really cool to turn into a campus game. Maybe players could even go out and find an object that “beats” the previous object to make it more interactive?

  3. Shoe-ffleboard is such a charming name! Consider what kind of board/mat would be needed to withhold the force of college students hurling their footwear onto it. When I picture a twister board in this equation, I see it going flying or crumpling in a way that would be annoying to continually fix. How could you design a board to withstand such force while still maintaining some compatibility?

  4. I like the idea of Beat the Rock. The game sounds to allow the players to get involved in the opinionated discussion which can be fun or cause chaos. Is this game just played by speaking or are there cards or a game board involved?
