THE BOARD IS MAGNETIC,THE DICE ARE MAGNETIC
THREE PLAYERS FOLLOW ONE STRAND
THREE PLAYERS FOLLOW THE OTHER STRAND
THERE ARE 14 HELICAL SECTIONS
THERE ARE LETTERS THAT YOU COLLECT,LIKE SCRABBLE
THE OTHER GAME IS FOR CHILDREN ,EACH LINE THAT LINKS BOTH STRANDS IS COLOURED LIKE A RAINBOW
THERE ARE FOUR LINES IN EACH DIVISION
THE FIRST PLAYER THAT MAKES THE RAINBOW IS THE WINNER ,ALSO THE FIRST PIECE IS THE SUN
THE SECOND IS THE WORD GAME WHICH YOU COLLECT LETTERS ON THE WAY ROUND,THE FIRST BACK TO THE START STARTS THE TIMER,THERE ARE A FEW VARIATIONS
IF YOU LAND ON A INTERSECTION OF TWO STRANDS YOU CHOOSE A CARD IF YOU ANSWER CORRECTLY YOU
GET A DOUBLE BONUS SCORE CHIP WHICH YOU COLLECT WITH THE LETTERS
THE THIRD GAME IS A NUMBERS GAME WHICH YOU COLLECT AT POINTS AROUND THE STRANDS
YOU CAN CHANGE NUMBERS TO CASH ,TRADE BONDS,INVEST,ECT
LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
REGARDS GARY
New game called dna
This caught my eye right away. It seems to me that magnetic dice would cling by the first face that touches the board rather than roll. Why are these magnetic?
Nothing really caught my eye since it was blinded by the absurd amounts of capital letters.
Other than that, I couldn't make any sense of it, to be honest. Are you describing four games at once, all played on the same board? Since the board is a circular DNA strand, am I correct that you can only move forward? Why do you need to collect letters, since the order in which they are collected is always the same?
Funny when you mentioned the name "DNA", it made me think about a game concept I once had.
I'll post it here, in case anyone might be interested in the idea (Yes - another idea free of charge lol)!
So the idea is basically you are a bunch of Corporations (Futuristic) that are experimenting in producing different types of weapons to use against each other.
You have a series of elements (+expansion) in which use to produce a new weapon (more and more powerful).
Weapons are created by *combining* the elements...
Now it could be a card game or it could be a FPS (Video Game).
That's just the gist of the idea. It could also apply to a medieval theme in which wizards are trying to breed different types of dragons. Using *elements* (For lack of a better word) to produce and hatch different types of dragon eggs...
The DNA theme is a good one; it's the kind of project that I would prefer to work on after studying the subject matter (somewhat) thoroughly. Good luck finding an artist; mine is booked solid!

Would "alchemy" be a fitting word for the medieval-themed version?
In any case, I like the idea. I can't help but compare your description to Quest cards from Lords of Waterdeep, but maybe you had something more tech-tree in mind ??
What does it matter if I use capital letters ,There are several games that can be played using the board not at the same time,no you can be blocked by a player if he occupies the intersection and you are forced to play backwards
The order of letters are random depending what you throw ,the point of collecting letters is to spell a word at the completion of each round completed .There are variations that I am working on
Looking for someone that can help me like a graphic designer or obtaining a suitable program to draw it
