Hey Folks, here's another update on GameCon to show the game setup.
The game's theme is that players are an attendee at a gaming convention, visiting Publisher Booths (the tiles), playing mini-games, and collecting Merch (which can be used in multiple ways).
The mini-games take anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. Some are 2-player competitive, some are 2-player cooperative, and others are free-for-all.
The mini-games also come in dexterity genre, social/party mini-games, or strategic mini-games.
The first picture shows the game setup, with the various publisher booths.
The second picture shows a close-up of two Publisher Booths, so you can see the sample mini-games, each complete with "Setup", "Rules", "Reward", and some "Special".
The concept came while doing a 15-minute Game Design Workshop at WashingCon, and my main inspiration was Mario Party. Players get to choose which Booth they visit. While the games start with the tiles face-down, once they are visited, they remain face-up.
Players get to choose which booth they visit, any opponents/companions, and how they use their Merch (each of which can be used in one of three ways: for their specific out-of-mini-game effect, discarded for a specific in-mini-game effect, or for Experience Points (ie VP's).
Thank you for reading my post. Do you have any thoughts?
