I’ve recently begun building a new board game design web app.

I’ve been interested in board game and game design for years, being an active consumer of design podcasts, reading voraciously on the topic, and spending much of my free time thinking about ideas.

The Idea As a kid, I always loved playing “tycoon” type PC games - Rollercoaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, Theme Hospital etc.

When asked whether game designers like to work theme-first or mechanic-first, many answer experience-first.

While enjoying a cuppa and a couple of biscuits at the weekend, it occurred to me that biscuit dunking is a effectively real-world push-your-luck game that could potentially make a fun, quick little game.

I’ve been thinking about some variants of a mechanic based on Action Drafting, using action cards.

Idea Simple card game based around trampolining.
