Board Game Ideas

1. Myths- Mino’s Labyrinth

Two players play on a board game, one player is the Minotaur the other player is Theseus. The Minotaur player has to reach them before Theseus escapes the Labyrinth. Theseus is given gifts of the gods to assist him while the minotaur can change the board; both are only able to do so through cards.

2. Super star’s rival life

The player plays as 2 celebrities who are constantly at odds with another. They must battle in a game of popularity.

3. Life Status (Facebook)

Like “Cards of Humanity”, Players are given an event and players must write statuses about the event. The most liked status wins

4. Overcoming Standards

The idea of this game is that it’s basically like “Life” but takes place after you finish college with a debt of 60k.

5. Defend the city

A 2-player game, one acts as the mayor and the other as the evil villain trying to destroy the city. The villain character throws conflicts and the Mayor must call upon his resources to save it.

6. Discipline

I think this would be a game for understanding healthy ways of disciplining a child for soon to be parents.

7.  Girl scouts

Two players compete as girl scouts trying to out do the other by selling girl scout cookies. With the more money you can buy more expensive cookies to sell, which you can use to allow areas to advertise at. The person who takes over all of the areas wins the game.

8. Your telenovela life

A single player game where you are the protagonist of a telenovela or Latino Soap Opera- you as the main character must overcome the typical clichés of telenovelas.

9.  Avoid the Spider

5 players use a board game where four of them act as Flies stuck in a web, they have to escape the Spider who is played by another player.

10.  Heavenly or Hellish Morality

Players are tested by situations on cards, these situations have choices based on their choices they are given a number and at the end they add them up to see what their morality is.

11. FBI tests- solve the murder

Players must choose from a random shuffle of cards to determine who the murderer is, the other players are FBI agents but don’t know who the murderer is.  All of them are given clues and events through the cards to figure out the murder and the murder themselves takes from the cards to conceal themselves.

12. Cat shop

Players must battle it out with cat cards, each different cat has different moves and attributes.

13.  Superhero

As a superhero you must deal with all sorts of

14. Sherades extreme

2 players are given a card with a sentence or a word and must act it out with gestures. They are competing against each other, the winner is the person who acts out the most accurate for people to guess

*15. Encouragement- Therapy game

I have never encountered a game that could be used for therapists or counselors to help children grow. This game ideally will teach children to be more confident in themselves. In a group setting with an adult there is a board where kids have to go through various stages of life of growing up at each turn, the kids will have to write something nice to each other and gain points to move further.

16. Cop VS robber

A robber must avoid the cop in the museum at all times while trying to obtain the Queen’s jewel in the museum.

17. 10 lies

Players must write down something about themselves associated with what card that is drawn from the deck says, then the other competitive players must guess if that is a life or a fact. Players win points if they guess correctly; if the person playing the fact or lie is caught over ten times they are out.

18. Conflict Resolution- Empathy therapy game

Another therapy game, 2 or more players go through a board to reach an understanding after a conflict has occurred.  Kids take turns to say what they have to say or write them down, they’ve reach the goal when they come to an understanding of where everyone is coming from.

19. Midnight snacks

A two player game  where it’s the middle of the night and the husband and children sneaks down stairs to the fridge to eat some food, he has to try and do it without waking up the mother.

20. VS zombies

You and your team must survive a hoard of zombies coming your way- through gathering supplies or weapons. Depending on what card is drawn you have a limit of turns that it takes for the zombies to reach you and your team.
