This jam is now over. It ran from 2024-05-08 16:00:00 to 2024-06-17 16:00:00. View 3 entries

The idea for this jam comes from Neighborhood Brawl, by Micah Anderson.

Some board games are played out. They can get boring approached the same way over and over again.

Let's fix that.

Pick a board game, any board game. Design a set of house rules that turn the board game into something new. 

Bonus points if you use only the materials provided by the board game. No outside cards, dice, miniatures, etc. (This isn't a requirement. I might end up breaking this rule too.)

I recommend releasing the house rules for free since a lot of board games are covered by copyright. Do your research. 

Board Game Ideas:
The Game of Life
Sorry
Scrabble
Catan
Risk
Candyland
Monopoly
Jenga
Trouble
Clue
Mouse Trap
Chess
Checkers
Go
...

Extra Credit:

Plant your rules in the box. 
Leave for some unsuspecting future owner.
