I'm the designer / publisher of a game called Euronimoes, and I'm looking for a developer to bring it to life on boardgamearena.
Euronimoes is a Euro-style dominoes game for 2-4 players requiring good hand-management skills, good resource-management skills, and a bit of puzzling ability, too. Playing time averages around 10 minutes per player.
Unlike a regular game of dominoes, each player has their own playing area that is not shared with others. Players buy dominoes in a market draft and then play them down in such a way as to try to minimize their point count at the end of the game.
The pips in any column must form one or more sequential runs – at the end of the game, the value of a run is equal to its smallest number. A run of 6-5-4-3, for example, is worth 3; a run of 4-3-2-1-0 is worth 0. And again, players don’t want points.
It's a fairly light, puzzle-y sort of game that doesn't outstay its welcome. An overview can be found on my website, and the rules can be found there, too.
I'm guessing it would be (relatively) easy to implement, and so it might be a good first project for a developer looking to get more familiar with the BGA platform.
The game has 32 ratings on BGG, with an average rating of 7.59. There are a lot of positive comments on BGG:
- “Addicted to Euronimoes 3.0 … It has many intricacies that make it an intense game. Big fan.” —TheDom
- “This is a brilliant game and I hope it catches on with a larger board game community.” —jnd101
- “This is a fantastic dominoes game. It is extremely easy to learn. You won’t need the rules after the first game and even scoring is simple enough to remember. It provides the perfect amount of planning, guessing, strategy, and luck without being a tough mental exercise. It is simple enough to be played by the whole family and deep enough to be enjoyed by the whole family … Heartily recommended.” —Black Canyon
- “Great euro game, both tactic AND strategic. If you like Lost Cities or Arboretum – this game is like Arboretum in 3D but more strategic. It definitely should be published.” —pwoloszun
- “My favorite game to play with dominoes.” —mxpf
- “What a gem. Unique. Strategic. Tactical. Compelling. has that “one more play” quality. Great scoring mechanism. A lot going on in a little game. Recommended.” —glanfam
- “The best game to come out of a set of dominoes. Lots of decisions to make that sometimes hurt your brain, but the simplicity of the choices makes the game balance itself out.” —robthecramer
