Hey Guys!

So while I wait for things to fall into place with Zodiak Legends I had an idea for a simple one shot-esk game called "#HenchmenProblems

The game has to do with henchmen and how they are so mistreated and misunderstood. In every movie they are thrown off buildings, shot, have their necks snapped, drowned, or fed to some exotic pet without any second thought!

Even batman will kill off a few henchmen to get to the Joker and then be all like "I don't kill" and take the Joker away in handcuffs, meanwhile he made 20 widows in the process.

The game I think will play a lot like munchkin but with scoring Victory points instead of leveling up. After every round (after each player has gone) the Generic Super Hero will move up 1 space. With each space he moves up, he comes ever so closer to stopping your plot and killing off all your henchmen thus ending the game.

How should I go about this? Do I make a Munchkin-esk game or do you see this as being more of a deck builder? Should whoever wins be the person with the most henchmen or the most point/loot.

HELP BGDF YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE!

So I figured out the rules

So I figured out the rules and layout. The game plays like munchkin but has a Dominion-esk victory mechanic. I'm really excited about this games potential!

Sounds pretty interesting

Sounds pretty interesting. I was thinking about making a game with the exact same theme. Glad you picked it up, so I don't have to do it myself :)

Good luck designing!
