I'm making a board game set in a casino and was hoping for some advice. Each room of the casino has its own small sub-game that players complete to play. They are generally played against the game itself. In the prototypes so far I've been using simple card and dice games but I'd like to make it more of a party game so am trying to think of sub-games that would be more fun to play and watch, as players can bet on the outcome of other players' sub-games.
So far I'm thinking of using:
Pig: (the push your luck dice game)
21: (played against another player)
Table golf: You must flick a disk across the board and into a small circle.
Memory: Take a short look at a number of playing cards then name them all.
Table Rugby: Hold a disk between your two thumbs and flick it over a crossbar made of another player's fingers.
I'd love to have games that tested different skills: memory, dexterity, risk-assessment etc. I don't want to rely on many extra components if possible.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very very grateful.
Thanks,
Neil
Thanks to both of you, plenty of good ideas here for me to try out.
