I'm new to game design but have long been a fan of gaming in general. Lately I've found myself drawn more and more to tabletop gaming, so I decided I wanted to design my own game. I'm still in the early stages of refining my game idea but I'm aiming for the filler game genre with a card and die game.
I'm looking forward to finding out about game balancing. I think I want some sort of card battling based on pairs or runs, maybe trick taking. Some sort of game play where the players use a replenishing hand to play several hands in a round to win specific materials. These materials are used for different victory scenarios which score the player points.
Any game recommendations would be appreciated, my game collection isn't very big but I plan on buying a game a week for awhile. I've recently picked up Tsuro of The Sea, Qwirkle, Ultimate Werewolf, The Resistance, Biblios, and Allhambra. I'm hoping to put a game club together so I have a chance to play a little more often than I do now. I think playing games has got to be the best research.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to exploring the boards (both the forum boards and board game boards).
I've been watching quite a few videos and I definitely see some games springing up a lot. I've watched enough top ten videos to make my eyes go crossed. you did mention a couple people I've not heard of, so I'll check them out too! Thanks for the info.
