In the following GDS Showdown (http://www.bgdf.com/forum/game-design/game-design-showdown/gds-november-...), we presented a very "unique" component: Wooden Game Tiles.
Although there was limited participation, the general direction of the games in the contest did not satisfy the intended direction of this "component". Even if I shelved the concept for many months... I have been thinking about re-introducing that component for a NEW design.
I call it "SpellMasters".
