Tangata Manu - Board game

The night before last I dreamed up another game idea. I have to get these on paper quickly so I don't forget them. Yesterday after work I threw together this prototype and made some cards when I got home...

I started play testing it all by myself as 4 players and of course it didn't work as well as I thought it would. I know now the board is too big. The theme is there (not the artwork yet) and the basic game play concept is solid I think but it needs a bit of tweaking!

Bobby on Board!

Hello all,

First off - CONGRATULATIONS to Jack and Yehuda for the success at the con!

My name is Bobby Doran and I am a board game designer... For some reason that sounds like the beginning of an AA meeting.

I have only recently begun putting all of my crazy ideas into prototype form but I have quite a few that are through with play testing and ready to be published. Now if I could only find a publisher interested in them...

My daughters are still very young so I've created a bunch of kid's games to start with. it's a lot easier to get them to play test the simple games! And now I'm starting to move on to the more complicated themes.

I'll use this post to bounce ideas off of everyone and keep you all updated with all of my game related successes and failures.
