The Assignment this time was, to create games based on already existing board games. The Teams mostly didn´t know the original rules, so it was very exciting to see what the teams would do with the Systems.
We had 20 Attendants which were assembled into 5 Teams, which meant 5 awesome games ! The complete Rules for the Games are here:
Gears of War - Connundrum
A Game about thinking ahead and understanding complex gear systems. Try to eliminate all the other players and be the last man standing !
Each turn, the Player rolls a dice, it determines which color of Gear he is allowed to move. Gears can only be switched with adjacent Gears and have to maintain their orientation.
The Player can choose at any time during his turn to rotate the gears in any direction.
A Player is eliminated once two adjacent Gears of the same Color point their Killing marker directly onto his Control Gear.
Original Rules - Chaos in der Geisterbahn:
- There are randomized starting conditions, determined by drawing a card.
- In his turn, the Player rolls the dice and puts a new gear on the board
- The Goal of the Game is, to get all "Ghost Gears" turning, this will move the Player on the board forward.
Vampire Battle
Four Vampires battle over valuable ressources, try to get Ressources from the Castle and get them back to your homebase without the other Vampires stopping you !Each Turn, the Player rolls the dice to determine how many steps he can take. The Field you end your turn on, determines what kind of Action Card you get.
Action Cards can be things like moving faster, Gaining Blood, Gaining Cards, attacking other Players, moving a Bridge.
You can attack another player by stepping on his field. To battle both player roll two dice, the first determines the base strength, the second determines the potential bonus by investing Blood.
If you loose a battle, you loose all carried ressources and you have to start again at your homebase.
Winner is, whoever has brought home the most points at the end of the Game.

A [3] Room is good for the defender, as there, the attacker has to roll 2 points higher...however in the [1] rooms the attacker has get only equal the rolled number of the defender.
Rolling the Ghost: If the white die shows the Ghost, this means that the ghost comes into play. It posesses a token of your choice and is able to move as many fields as the second die shows. The Ghost can move through walls and pushes every toke he touches out of the room he passes.
