Game Design Ideas and Suggestions

Always a different topic with a great expert, and does a great job interviewing, Amazing for Game Designers especially for aspiring ones

I love this podcast. I'm a aspiring board game designer with a couple of prototypes but still have a long way to go. It never fails to inspire me to do better and consider things from a different perspective. Gabe does a very nice job selecting experts on the topic from the game world. I'd list the names but they won't mean much if you don't play board games. This is a great show and an amazing resource for us designers.

The antithesis of monopoly

This game really is the opposite of monopoly - you start with £1m and have to go round the board trying to lose money as fast as you can, like Brewster's Millions the board game. Exciting trips to the casino and horse racing and spending on the stock exchange give you extra chances to blow your dough. I loved this game growing up, and have bought a second hand version to play with my kids, who also love it. Truly an enjoyable family game trying to get rid of as much money as you can (which my kids are great at IRL!).

Tabletop Game Rating

I have only played this once at the board game meetings. It is an amazing game, but can be pretty rough for a first time player. I was so excited to be a thug. You get into your role, and steal stuff, do illegal business and try to collect as much cash as you can to win the game. I loved the board and I loved the mechanics - but I think you do need experience for this one to get the hang out of it and actually manage to win.

Great fun, even with 4+ players. Game gets pretty long if many people play though. I would definitely play this again!

Format is very different (1 more)

Easy to learn and play

Lite and playful castle seige co-op

I really enjoy this little gem. The format is different in that the board is played as a giant pie chart with various ringed zones based on proximity. Its co-op and everyone works to fight an non-stop onslaught of monsters attacking the central castle from around the board. Its fun, fast, and non-stop action. Everyone very much works together and it has a clear end. The boulders are a little too much of random chance in my opinion that can make or break a win, but overall I enjoy this breezy game.
