I am posting to find any other australians who have a desire to help with some game play elements for a rugby league BOARD game I have been working on. The main reqirement you'd need is a good understanding of the game here in OZ.
I see many possibilities but also a fair few problems that need to be worked on.
Has anyone ever made a successful American Grid Iron BOARD Game ? Or to you knowledge has anyone tried ? I know all these games are available on computer systems so thats a fair share of the market that would be most difficult to crack.
I am sure we will come up with something pretty unique and excellently playable working together.
Though Grid Iron is a very differnt game many of the ideas will fit both styles.
Ill send you a pdf or word doc on what my ideas are at the moment,
Draft one!
As a quck started 5their is a salary cap as to how much a club can spend on buying players for the season. Each player would have stats on their abilities, Forwards are tougher, wingers are faster, halfbacks and centeres are highly skilled in completetingn plays and passing, though their toughness is weak. Fullbacks are fantastic kickers as are half backs and captains.
So you would have a couple of million to sighn up players for the season and this could be done/managed in different ways, for one shuffling the cards and dealing out 13 player cards to each player.
They could be allowed to reject 4 or 5 players and ask for another 4 or 5 cards. tHENN THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT THE COSTS OF EACH PLAYERS AND SEE IF THEY HAVRE NOT GONE OVER 5THE SALARY CAP.
tHERE WILL BE SOME WHEELING AND DEALING TO GET EASCJHC SIDE ITS 13 PLAYERS.
tHERE BWILL BE A FAIR BIT OF DICE THROWING , like if a try is scored you use your best kicker for the 3 point gold post kick, your best kicker may have a + 4 to his kick ability.
If A hughe forward is making a run up the middle and a little half back or centre tries to tackle him their will be a die roll to see if his power gets him bustingn through as their rolls may not havre been good enough to stop him.
Ill stop here and write a more complete document for you guys to read.
Thanks for you offers ofc help,
Mike.
