I’m a big fan of board games, so I’d like to discuss the progression of the concept of “turn.” The two most famous of board games are Chess and Go; because both use a simple turn-based system, where one player takes his action then the other. The turn is defined by the action that a player takes; most of the traditional board games take after this concept.

I know this is a boartd games site - I am a published games designer - but i've just finished my card game (standard pack)

It was a pet project. I wanted to do a mancala game (done; BalaGwari), a 'Go' games (done; Yang-Te) a connection game (done; Shout 7) and a card came.

I've contacted mensa uk about a uk version of the game award and am waiting to hear from a puzzle mag about my submission. But I've got writers block! I even sorted out my emails into folders earlier.

I am currently working on a game that involves loading, shipping and selling goods. I am in the midst of selecting some mechanics to use, but am looking for some more ideas. One mechanic I want to use is to have three kinds of workers that each do a specific job (versus Agricola or Caylus where 1 kind of worker can do many different jobs). The three workers are the Loader, the Trucker, and the Salesman. Each player only starts with a single trucker, but throughout the game players can buy Loaders or Salesman to increase their efficiency and profit.

Seattle WA (December 19th 2008) – When Seattle game company Front Porch Classics, Inc. merged with New York based Sababa Toys in 2007 many Front Porch Classics employees faced the difficult decision of what to do next. For the core creative team at Front Porch Classics the choice was simple; continue working together and have fun making games.

So I've been reading the posts on Pompei and IIS, and the idea of players taking interchangable roles caught my fancy. I've never even tried to design a game before that uses roles, let alone with the roles the players play changing throughout the game, but thought I'd give it ago.
