Check out the video presentations below for game prototypes I am currently pitching. Real life presentations can be scheduled for Essen Spiel 22, but demonstrations over video conferencing is also possible. Rules and sell sheets available on request. Contact smilejorgen@gmail.com for more!
Crayonville
A flip-and-write village builder which is played across multiple levels. You expand your territory with crayons and construct buildings with a felt pen. The rules start simple in the early levels but increase in complexity as you progress through the levels. Each level takes 20-40 minutes to play, and like a legacy game you can continue playing with the same villages over multiple game sessions.
1-10 players, 20+ minutes
Feuds on a Map
A light weight 4X style game that tries to capture and combine the appeal of Risk and Catan. The board is modular to fit different player counts, and combined with a selection of available technologies to research this provides variability, replayability and the possibility of adjusting the expected level of conflict to suit different player groups. The basic action mechanism is dice drafting from your own pool, combined with straight forward rules for movement, exploration, area control, combat, resource production and construction.
2-5 players, 60 minutes
Knights of the Diamond Table
A fairly simpe area majority game with a twist to the movement rules that makes planning your expansion a challenge, and even more so predicting your opponents. Secret objective cards provide a combination of open and hidden scoring which means you can’t be sure who wins until everything is accounted for.
2-5 players, 30 minutes
Motley Dice
A solo puzzle game where you place dice on a grid, adhering to a set of restrictions. The dice make sure you can generate an almost infinite number of different puzzles. Different play modes for cooperative and competitive play if you want to enjoy with friends. Also included are the rules for 4 other simple dice games that you can play with the dice in the set. Achieved 2nd place in the 2021 1-card PnP Design Contest on BGG.
1+ players, 10 minutes
Herd Immunity
A quick shuffle-and-deal trick taking game, where the real challenge lies in placing the cards you acquire in an intersecting and overlapping pattern. Try to score as few infection points as you can in four different diseases, but remember that the most wide spread disease across all players achieves Herd Immunity and does not count.
2-6 players, 15 minutes
Green Box of Games
Game system in a box, with a wiki that counts well over 100 games that you may play with the included components. Most games have been created by the community following the release of the second edition on Kickstarter in 2017. It is now out of print, and I am looking for a publisher to bring a potential third edition out to a wider audience. The game is rated 7.4 on BGG.
