1- This one is a loose idea because I don’t know as much as I would like to about astrology, but I think it would be a cool topic to have a card game about. So every player is playing as their zodiac sign, and there are certain cards to pick from for all zodiac signs. When you pick a card each turn, it has a challenge on it based on your zodiac sign and their traits.
2-use a standard deck of cards and give one to each player. you have to pass your card to the person to your right. if you get a lower card than your original, you have to pick another card up (then youd have 2) keep doing this until the deck is gone. whoever has the most cards loses.
3-The cards are standard, except all white (no text) and laminated so you can write on them with expo markers. The players will write a dare, task, or challenge on the card. every turn the players pick a card and have to do what the card says. each player gets 3 chips and a chip is taken away when a dare is refused.
4-This is a variation of idea 3, with the same expo cards, except the players are divided into 2 groups. one group draws an image on a card and the other writes a saying on theirs. the cards are shuffled and, as a group, everyone judges which picture and saying are funniest when combined. Both of these players get a point. establish a winning number of points and when someone reaches it, they win.
5. everyone gets 7 cards. The goal of the game is to get every other card within the same suit. Each turn you pick up a card and the discard one. Your score once someone wins is based on your remaining hand. 10 points for all number card, 20 for face and aces.

I like the zodiac card game, but I am curious as to what you mean by a challenge? Is it like a truth or dare challenge? Do you earn points for doing the tasks?
I also like your 2nd idea because it’s simple, but I feel like the conflict wouldn’t last very long. Maybe if you have 2 of the same card you can give them 2?
I think the first two are really cool ideas. The astrology game would be fun and maybe even a teaching source of what the astrological signs are, dates, traits, etc. Would the second game be fast game?
Love the idea of the second game. I feel like it would be super easy to learn and leave no room for conflict, as far as rules go. I also enjoy how the game could be super short or long depending on how many times you do it. The flexibility is definitely an upside.
The first idea has a lot of potential. I’ve never seen a game based around the zodiac, and yet most people have an idea what the zodiac is so it wouldn’t be an overly complicated game premise to learn. The game could also incorporate a mythic bent, if you wanted to also use the legends the zodiac symbols come from.
The zodiac game has potential and begs for beautiful visuals. Though the mechanics for challenges needs further refinement. Check out Zodiac Clash.
