Now taking suggestions for other games/toys which might work well in the snoot style! Here are some guidelines to consider:
- There's no reason to duplicate something you can get elsewhere on the web or on your desktop. A key component should be your interaction with other internet users.
- The game should be as noncompetitive as possible. Think "working together to make something cool" rather than the traditional bord game ethic.
- It should be possible to learn the rules very quickly (or it should be a familiar enough game that many people would know them already)
- Perhaps at odds with the last guideline, individual moves should be satisfying to the user. Checkers wouldn't be that great, because it just isn't that fun to play one move. Chess and Scribble work better since they both have a lot of thinking for each move.
- The game should work well on the web (Jenga or 3D chess would be bad).
Think of word and board games you played as kids; stuff like that.
Any suggestions? |
