[EXPERT] Main Quest: Ideas

MAIN QUEST

STEP 1: Generate Ideas (for EXPERT game designers)

If you have designed multiple games professionally and you consider yourself highly experienced, follow this set of constraints.

Come up with ideas for creating a board game that uses a “roll-and-move” mechanic as the primary gameplay activity. But make it good.

This mechanic is highly overused in games. It also creates a separation between the player’s decisions and the actions that the player takes on the board. It is therefore extremely challenging to design a game that uses this mechanic in a way that feels fresh, original, and compelling. But I’m sure if you have reached this point in your career, you are up to the challenge.

ONE IDEA PER POST. Feel free to post up to 3 ideas.

After you have posted, read two (2) other posts in this discussions and offer constructive analysis and critique. Your feedback can be helpful during the design process.
