Here's the race game I made while following along with the course reading.

1) There's a path with 12 spaces.

2) Objective & Theme: Get to the end first. I chose to keep the theme abstract so it wouldn't get in the way of interesting rules.

3) To move, choose a number from 1-3, and move that number of spaces.
- Get 3 pieces of something, and choose in secret, then everyone reveals their number at the same time.

4) After moving, check if you are ahead of any other players. If you're ahead of another player for two or more turns in a row, switch places with them. If there are more than two players only one switch occurs per turn. Start by checking if the player in front has been ahead of anyone for 2 turns in a row, switching with the closer of those players. If players are on the same space so both are valid for the switch, each of those players is included in the switch.

CLOCKWERK – HOW TO PLAY

Players must navigate a path, collecting gears, springs, and other mechanical pieces while trapped inside a gigantic clockwork machine. Start at the "S" space, and finish at the "F" space. The first player to arrive at the "F" with all their required pieces wins the game.

SETUP: All players start at the "S" space. They also draw a special Components List card. This card will list the required pieces of machinery they must collect before leaving the machine (via the "F" space). Players keep this card secret from the rest of the players.

Shuffle the Component cards, and deal them face-up on each of the round pathway sections until the deck is exhausted. A component or action should be clearly visible to all players at each of these sections.

The player who most recently used a stopwatch is first to play, then play proceeds clockwise around the table.

TO MOVE
Move your player token from 1 to 3 spaces in any direction. You are welcome to land on/end your turn on the same space in which you started.

BLUE SPACES
When landing on a blue space, collect one of the cards from the center of that round segment of the path (the deck of cards is marked with the rectangle). These cards will have either machinery pieces, or they'll have action cards a player may use to sabotage another player or advance their own position. Cards are played at the start of a given player's turn.

ROUND PATHWAYS
These round pathways resemble gigantic gears and cogs. When ending their turn on one of the round paths, the player rolls a die to determine which way to turn ALL the round pathways occupied by a player: one, two, or three spaces, either clockwise or counter-clockwise.

ACTION CARDS
These can be played by the active player at the beginning of their turn. They have actions such as:

• Force a player to drop one component of their choice at the nearest Round Pathway
• Align the Round Pathway of their choice in whatever orientation the active player wants
• Drop off two Components at their current Round Pathway to collect any other face-up Component
• etc.

END GAME
The first player to land on the "F" space and show their Components List and all required components wins the game.

Here's my little game based around a player v all other players type build.

1)The players determine who will be the wolf.

2)The wolf may change lanes, the hunters may not.

3)When choosing an action, each "team" hides its moves from the other until everyone is ready and then reveals their action. All actions are executed according to the priority number on the card. Cards with the same priority happen at the same time.

4)The hunters and the wolf each have their own set of actions to choose from. The hunters and the wolf each choose 1 action at the beginning of a round.

Hunter's action Cards

(p= priority)

Run: roll a d6 and move that many spaces. 2p

Trap: Place a trap tile behind you. If the wolf lands here it must stop. 4p

Shoot: if the wolf is in your lane, the wolf cannot move from their space next round. 3p

Wolf's action cards

Run: Roll a d6 and move that many spaces. If it is a 6, roll again. (do not roll again if you roll 6 again) 1p

Howl: Force all hunters to move back 1 tile. 3p

Hide: Roll a d6, if it is 6, hunters cannot move from their space this turn. 2p

5) The hunters win if one of them reaches the wolf. The wolf wins if he loops around the track and reaches a hunter from behind.

Well, I hope this makes sense to everyone. I think it would be a little fun with the hidden element and a bit of strategy with some randomness thrown in there.
