This idea started off as a board game idea, until i realized it would be too tedius to start up, so the idea transformed into a simple game...I just want to know if anyone thinks it would be fun.(I haven''t written the game yet...) I''m going to describe the game in terms of the board game (as the computer game would work the same way) Pieces 4 pawns (1 each red, blue, yellow, green) deck of 20 maze cards 100 maze wall pieces ---Each wall piece is 2 grid squares long. 1 game board ---The game board is set up in a 20x20 grid, with the middle 4x4 grid squares representing the goal. Along the grid lines are raised sections to place the walls into. 1 6-sided movement die 1 8-sided maze wall die Set Up Draw a maze card from the deck and set the game board up according to the picture on the face. Each player places thier pawn on the colored space in the 4 corners. (in the computer version the computer can set up the 4 pieces and the goal randomly along with the wall pieces) Goal Be the first person to reach the center of the maze and claim the treasure! Gameplay Players take turns rolling the movement and Wal dice, moving walls and their pawns. A turn consists of 2 phases, the wall manipulation phase and the movement phase. Wall Manipulation Phase The player picks up and rolls the 8 sided wall die. The player may then move any piece on the board that was not moved in the previous round. (a round consists of one turn for each player) For each point on the die a player may move a wall either by sliding one space (1/2 wall length) or rotating it 90 degrees from one of the ends. Any combination of pieces may be moved any number of spaces as long as the movement adds up to the number on the die or less. Two walls may not occupy the same place. A wall may not "push" another wall. Ex Player one gets a 4, he may move one piece 4 times, or 2 pieces Twice, or 4 pieces once. The die is numbered 0,1,1,1,2,2,3,4 Movement phase After the wall phase a player enters the movement phase. The player rolls the movement die (regular six sided die) and moves the number of spaces on the die. If a player cannot move (he is enclosed on all 4 sides by pieces that were moved in the last round) he skips his ENTIRE turn, including the wall phase. Two players may occupy the same space, and therefore do not "jump" spaces or players. The first player to reach the center wins the game.
