So today I tried for about 5 hours to come up with even a possible game mechanic and I just kept getting flop after flop after flop. So I scrapped it all and intentionally tried to make the worst board game ever, and I succeeded. I risk putting my rules online because someone might just be dumb enough to steal them ;)
Name: Mowe your lawn
Rules:
Take 25 face cards and put them face down in a 5x5 layout. Set a timer for 5 seconds and with your non-writing hand flip the cards over one at a time until all the cards are face up. If you can do it under 5 seconds you win!
2 + Players:
Each player makes a 5x5 layout of face down cards. First person to flip all their cards wins!!!
Ahhh this made me happy to read today. My wife asked me if I was sad about all the time waisted trying to make a new game last night and I simple took a quote from Thomas Edison and twisted to fit my situation.
I simply found several ways how not to make a game.
I actually liked the idea of hucking stuff at each others head while you play though. That sounds a lot like a mechanic my brothers would use on me when we were younger. :)
