Does anyone have an idea for a board game?

Question

I need a board game that is about a game game like dodge ball or something about a different country other than USA. I know it sounds weird but got any ideas?

Answer 1

After reading your question, I began thinking that you could make a game about Dodgeball using "Streetsoccer" as a model.  

(BoardGameGeek entry for Streetsoccer : http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/3421)  Basically, each side has the same five figures, and instead of playing on the soccer pitch, each side plays on their own side of a similar gridded space, with tokens to represent the balls.  Players could roll a standard six-sided die for movement, and then perhaps another different die to "throw" the balls -- but I would modify that die to have a different range of numbers, so that there is an average length that one could expect from a throw (e.g. a six sided die with 3-4-4-4-5-6 on it, or an eight-sided or ten-sided also so modified, with a high, a low, and a bunch of "average" numbers).  Then the player's figure that is targeted has a response roll, to see if they "caught" the ball.  This way, balls that are thrown "short" could be picked up by movement, thrown via the die roll, and a player is "out" by being hit and not "catching" the ball, or is out by another player "catching" the ball.  

Since I suppose you are doing this for a class project, have fun with it.  If you are doing this for a commerical game, Carne van Moorsel is going to want a little credit, and I'll want a cut .. *grin* :)

Create a game like monopoly with different spaces to land

on around the board. The space you land on could be good

or bad (like whether you get hit by a dodgeball or whether

you get to throw one) Some could have cars with different life

spans and thats the number of times they can get hit before

they officially get out. Who ever has the most team members

left at the end of the game wins! Haha...sounds weird but I

hope it helps a little bit. Good luck!
