Games...
Time to get back into game idea a day thing (which was a brain storming thing while I was in GD school). For now though it'll be with board games. Behind LJ-cuts. And I do plan on making an actual update about my life sooner or later.
Forests
Two to Four Players
Played on a 8x8 chess board using IceHouse Pieces (15 per player, 5 small, 5 medium and 5 large)
One counter is needed to represent the direction of the sun.
-On each turn, all players place, or grow one 'tree'.
-Trees start out as single small icehouse pieces and grow -> medium -> large -> small on large -> medium on large -> small on medium on large
-At the beginning of each new turn, the sun moves counterclockwise around the outside of the board
-The players then determine whether trees are in the shadow of another tree (trees cast shadows either one space, or the number of spaces high they are)
-Trees in a shadow are reduced by one size, starting from the side opposite the sun.
-Players may grow another players tree with their move, but the tree remains the originators
-The first tree to full height wins
Also trying to think of some additional 'forest fire' rules which would damage trees connected to each other.
