hello,
one of my side projects is almost complete and will be released as free print-n-play in less than two month. its a simple dueling card game that uses a small board to add some tactical options to it. the images and in fact all of the design are typical "doodle style". the game is playable in 20-30 minutes, limited to two players ages 8 and up.
so, my first name ideas are listed below. but i am afraid that some of the names would not be suitable for children, on the other hand - they say that "duelmasters" (for example) is suitable for children 8+ and there is representation of death and destruction all over their cards. so maybe not to take the "child safety" issue too serious?
A. Weird Wars
B. Freak Wars
C. Doodle Wars
D. Odd Wars
I have decided for D so far. A+B are too negative and C reminds me of a drawing game (wich it is absolutely not!). So far the typical gameplay terms are built completely around the word "Odd":
* Name: Odd Wars
* Subtitle/Tagline: Rise of the Oddities!
* Name of Creatures : Oddities
* Centerpoints the players battle over: Oddium Sources
* Resource of the Game: Oddium
* Card States: Even / Odd
* Creature Powers: Odd Power
Attached you find an image. Maybe you have some more ideas - as i am from germany I am not so well versed when its about english names, terms and background worlds suitable for children. Thanks a lot!
haha - yes naming is the most difficult aspect in boardgame design! :-)
hmm.... "against all odds!"
well, better not.
But, it does not have to be "odd", if someone has a really good idea
* Doodle Royal
* Comic Combat
* Battle of Blobs
