Hello everyone!
Frank here in New York, and I have been interested in design for quite a while. I arrive with about three ideas for games, but looking to help out others as well as soak in the advice for my own projects.
The first idea is a fantasy-themed board game that I had sent to a toy agent years and years ago, getting some useful feedback, but it was a slow and expensive process that ultimately ended up not being successful. Might pick this back up again since the market has moved a lot since then, and a place like BGDF offers a much better feedback loop.
The second idea is a sci-fi-themed board game that would be more strategic, but promises to pose challenges with the movement rules, physical components, or both. It's set in the vicinity of a black hole, and I'd like to capture the oddness of that environment.
The third idea is actually a chess variant which probably has negligible commercial value, but I see it as good practice.
