Hi!
I'm just quickly saying hello to everybody here. I'm just getting into board gaming but I already started designing one of my own - well, not just by myself but with the help of a couple of friends. I registered here to 1) look for advices when I need one, 2) learn what my peers and more experienced game designers are doing at the moment - and hopefully get inspired of some of those ideas and 3) just have a good time learning new stuff about games :)
Like I said, right now I'm designing my first real board game (I remember doing a couple when I was just a child but I don't really think they count). I actually have a problem with one aspect of it right now but I guess I'm going to make another post about it soon enough. The game is a fantasy/adventure(/horror) themed, kind of half co-operative and half doing-your-own-thing. It has a big emphasis on narration and has A BUNCH of cards. It's still in the early stages but I have a goal of finishing it this year.
My favourite games at the moment are Arkham Horror and 7 Wonders - and Munchkin's, it's also a lot of fun! As you learn to know my taste a little big, I would be happy if you'd suggest other games I might enjoy. But I think this is enough of me right now. Hello, and nice to meet you everybody!
