Hey guys,
My name is Meghan and I am designing a party/card game. I just finished version 2 of the boxed version and created a website for the game (www.disturbingpeace.com). Check it out. Any feedback you could give on the website, game play, instructions, etc, would be very helpful.
The game is pretty simple - read an adult focused statement card out loud, read a letter out loud, and have people go around the room answering the statement card with a word of phrase that starts with the letter that was chosen. If a player can't come up with a unique answer, they can get "shamed". The website explains it in more details.
I joined this website to help me solidify some of my game details and get feedback from other game designers.
At this point, I have lots of things that I need to firm up.
1. The name of the game. I liked Disturbing Peace because it implies rowdiness and immaturity, which is the intent of the game. Others I have talked to don't like it so much.
2. The box design, which I am not able to show you...yet. Version 2 should arrive in the mail at the end of this week and I plan to take pictures of it and post it to the website.
3. Shaming. I personally find it to be a fun twist on a basic card game but would love to hear what others have to say.
4. Alphabet dice versus cards. I originally wanted to use a 30 sided alphabet di to generate the letter for each round. Since The Game Crafter didn't sell them, I made small cards instead. Now I am re-considering the dice option (since people have told me to). The only problem is 1) I would have to buy the dice myself and add it to the game before I sell it and 2) since the di is so large, it requires a larger box that looks a bit ridiculous with only 120 cards (the box would normally fit 276 without dice).
5. The concept of a wild letter. I have not incorporated this into the website version, but I want to. Although I am not sure the best approach on how to do this. If a wild letter is picked, should the host get to pick which letter they want to use that round? Or should it mean that players aren't restricted by a letter that round? Or should the host role twice and provide players with 2 letters that round?
If you have time and are interested, feel free to take a look at the site. I would appreciate any feedback you have to give. If anything, it could provide you with a fun game night w/your friends.
Thanks!
Meghan
Thanks. I appreciate your feedback. Your take on the dice and wild letter are different than what I was expecting, but good for me to hear.
