Game suggestion: Mindbug

Post by Kaepo »

Hi there!
How about Mindbug? A 2-player card game which would be fairly easy to implement (I think).

Language is a source of misunderstanding. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince) But it is also the source of understanding - it all depends on how you use it. :-)

When every card has a different power, it is not a simple game to implement ;)
You can also ask the publisher if he wishes to allow it on BGA (if he doesn't, that's a no-go)

Oops, didn't see it, sorry about that. Not sure that a global thread for all game suggestions is well adapted to discuss games we would like to see on BGA, though.

Well, I never play the game, and I guess some power can be tricky to implement indeed, but there are not so many cards in the game. I believe it would be easier to implement than many expert games on BGA, such as Ark Nova, Earth or Arnak.
And I am just tossing the idea if some dev is interested. I won't start any procedures with the publisher.

A global thread is entirely the point. It is a containment thread, e.g., like the thread on Ukraine in Discussions. Without it there would constantly be new requests for the same games flooding Suggestions. Cascadia has been requested 11 times in the New Games Wanted containment thread alone, just as one example. Only on rare occasions is something new mentioned. For every Mindbug there are 5 things like Monopoly.

You say 48 cards are 'not many'...

Those games took at least months (years for some). 'Easier than those games' means nothing.
Players tend to underestimate the workload of card games.

The publisher decides whether a game can be implemented or not.

Top level game suggestions are really annoying! There are so many thousands of games... just imagine the suggestions from that specific thread woul all be top-level... this board would be flooded with individual game suggestion threads.

If at least people would give a good title like "game suggestion: mindbug" would make it easier to ignore. People don't know that it is a game. Sounded like someone needs help understanding something...
edit: thx for changing the title :)

Absolutely. Every new suggestion thread always boils down to, "I'd like to play this game, but I won't implement it. Will someone else just do it for me?"

This thread is a prime example. The OP went so far as to suggest that it would be really easy (but still not easy enough that he's going to do it himself).
