So I started brainstorming on a gam. The Best Christian theme threw me for a loop this round as I had wanted to do a factory game with "little foxes" going wrong and constantly fixing it. LOL oh well. 

Here are my notes for a possible game with the Song of Solomon Verse, but I don't think its competition worthy... I may play with game ideas for the other verses....

Ideas

Song of Solomon 2:15 says, "Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom". 

Fixing problems - catching issues/ stopping problems

Christian theme 

Cards?

Board?

Roll n Write?

Use card deck

Old maid?

Wacky a mole?

It has to begin so small and grow rapidly like an infestation like hate

Be cute even at first then grow terrifyingly. 

Idea 1:

Use card deck add a ton of fox cards to play.

Place 1 fox card somewhere in the upper part of each players deck. Flip your card to see if yours is bigger than opponents card? Fox in your hand. If you flip fox you get to flip your next card if it's a 10 or higher fox is defeated. If it's 6-9 consequence hits an opponent.  If it's 1-5 consequence hits you. Roll die 1-6 pick up the pile and add that many additional foxes to the top of your deck. 

If 2 foxes come up at once. Roll the die and double the effects for each fox not defeated. Ie 2 foxes come up. Fox A got a 10 and is defeated. Fox b got a 6 and rolls to attack  opposition. I Roll a 5 add 10 foxes additional foxes to the opposites deck plus the entire pile. 

If neither foxes is defeated or passed- the center pile is split in half the larger half goes to the player with the lowest card played on the fox. Roll and double amount of extra foxes to shuffle in for each player.

Worst case scenario - if a double fox comes up, and one is passed to the opponent while one is staying. That player rolls for both foxes and multiplies both rolls times 2 up to 24 foxes will be added to their deck and all the cards in the center.

Grow coffee plants end with ground coffee / coffee cups 1-14

How to add agency to the game?

1 or 2 heavenly intervention cards removes an amount of foxes from deck?

Different backs for foxes?

Cute Fox with cup of coffee

Working titles: Catch the Little Foxes?

Coffee Fox

I made a mini robot!!

I am so excited that you did a print and play this round. Its nifty that it was all on 1 page and was a solo game. However, I wish there had been a expanded info on how to set up the 3 difficulty levels- what do I set up differently to do recover the artifact vs destroy the monsters lair?  They say they are different difficulty but I'm having a hard time seeing the difference from the instructions.  Also some of the rules may have benefited from an example in a additional sheet.  for instance you say on my turn to move,  then roll for hidden 3rd location. Do I do this every turn? If so then how many final bosses do I fight? What are the ending conditions? Then I roll for an encounter.  The encounter only tells me how many enemies I face. I don't see what is the baseline for Enemy stats. 
Overall I love the concept and its a cute game. I just would love a bit more guidance to be available so I can have the same game play as you were picturing instead of making my own best guesses.  Still thank you for your hard work. I had fun! 

I got in, though I never got the creature maker to work. Excellent 3d word! I love the concept, but I couldn't interact with anything despite trying the lmbej buttons, and just random button mashing.  I found 4 different ways to move and 1 way to jump. ^^

I tried to install it and play but I cant find an install file. :/ please advise

I completely understand! It is a fast event and thus bugs can diffidently happen. ^^ I just wanted to check that I wasn't doing it wrong. ^^

Very cute! I love that you create the pond and guide the frog through. Sometimes my frog gets excited and ends up on the shore. I can't move him back into the pond. Is there a way for me to do that?

Wow it grew so much from your test run video! Its beautiful. But oh my goodness!!!! I was going nuts when I expanded the field to about 5 different groupings! So exciting. I know this was a fast make, but if you ever get to work on it further, it would be lovely for it to show I watered. Sometimes I was clicking so fast, I forgot to water after zooming in! LOL poor plants. Also I didn't realize the game continued while the robot was talking. I lost so many plants to that... :( 

I like the Genesis Trivia with star background! Very nice. I wish it would have revealed what answers I scored wrong on and what the correct answer was so if I didn't know I could learn. ^^

Interesting puzzle. I like the concept of making the course before hitting start. The only part I'm struggling with is sometimes it seems to let me physically move the balloons location but most of the time I get stuck changing their size. Any tips?

Wow! Its 3d and very cute game! Thank you for the guiding arrows! Its a very sweet concept. Did you use the sponsor  AI to make it? So cool! Well done!

I love the music and the concept! I'm going to have to try again, I'm having trouble gathering my elements to kill the bad guys before they off me LOL 

Ok final updates todays. :)

I named it Adventures  in Creation

I made card backs for the Creation cards and the Adventure Cards and rule book. ^^

Sounds fun. Farming adventure! 

I decided to make these cards smaller to save time and paper. ^^ 15 to a sheet.

I did 9 jackets, 9 boats, 9 ropes, 4 torches and 32 food. I did 3 sink boats, 3 torch wet, 3 worn rope, 3 worn clothing and 6 spoiled food. I then did 7 animal attacks and 4 rough seas. total of:  90 cards. Players must collect the 3 treasures before the draw pile runs out.  

The canva AI helped dirty and rip the clothing. So handy!

Adventure cards

ohhhh I love the research! I am looking forward to your take on this and another tabletop competitor! ^^

Thank you! Today is really the only full day I can dedicate to it so I'm working hard today. ^^ How's your coming? Canva makes it so much easier! 

Phase 2 rule brainstorm.

Roll the 2 die the one you used for what topography will determine your starting column from the left. The die you used to determine the size of topography will determine the  row you start on. Look at your hazards. Pick 3 of them to place treasures on.  Place adventuring rolling sheet by the map.  Draw 3 adventurer cards. 

If you want to cross water you need a boat. If you want to scale Mountains. Sink Holes you'll need rope.  To go in a cave you need fire. To go in Tundra/ Icebergs you need a jacket.  Each turn you need to eat food to move. If you don't have any of these cards discard until you get one.  Careful though, events can occur that will make you  roll to see if your item is ok, or destroyed. If it is destroyed to move in that area you'll need to replace it. 

Rules for Phase 1 complete

3 cards faces designed

Water

Land

Hazard

Play test 2 Hazards made it interesting. ^^ It will make phase 2 more interesting!

Added 2 Hazard cards.  Round 2.

I rearranged the page. ^^

Game board updated. I added Hazards as well to the board. To fit the board better I swapped a few of the biomes around. I may need to play with the design more as it seems a bit tight... :/ but functioning currently. 

Rough play test 1 6 land cards and 7 water cards.  No animal or plants yet. materials used: 3x5 cards colored pencils dice. 

I played 26 cards twice through the deck.  Then filled in the rest of the map with ocean and polished off edges land masses. 

Afterwards as deserts are created by the rain shadow anywhere I had deserts I placed a mountain range near by. 

Out of the 26 rounds I got all the topography at least once.  

Players should set what kind of filler they want at the end, ocean, desert etc... thus creating different kids of worlds. 

So far seems successful! editing play board update soon!

can't wait!!! :) Best wishes.

Rough start to the tile board 

Start on card faces water and land.

Thank you for your honest answer. If you were able to help with my table top I was going to see if it was plausible as you are our sponsor! ^^ But I'll still have fun. Thank you for the quick response.
