I'm totally, 100% stumped, to be honest.

Mimicking cartography, I'd love the game to be a solitaire pen and paper game, but the theme hit me hard.

I've actually been thinking of a competitive pen and paper game that might be fun! I just wanna play around with the idea a little more and test it out with some people.

- Might switch it to a type of cooperative type of game.

I've two ideas in my mind, but I have to think about them really well. I want to make a game that allows you to explore a weird type of map, like the brain map or the human body — something like that. 

Another obligation I want to add to burst my creativity is making a game in which the drawing of the map is unusual. Maybe a card game? Or a dice mapping game? Or maybe you use an old table cloth and paint it? Something really weird.

I've got something involving starmaps that you paste scratch paper onto to make a crazy collage.

Spent the last two days thinking about a game about language and territory where you play a people being colonized. I’ve cribbed a lot from Avery Alder’s “A Quiet Year” and Thorny Games’ “Dialect”.

In the first phase, you make your culture by drawing cards containing words and some possible meanings for the word. You choose one meaning and place the thing on a map.

In the second phase the intruders show up and start taking over the things, and substituting your language and culture for their own.
