Alchemists is a board game for 4 players.

Board is a square with an alchemy transmutation circle in the middle, the four corners are used for the four players to put down their cards.

At the edge of the transmutation circle, infront of each corners of the board, there are player starting points as small circles to put each players alchemists on, and lines connect these circles to the center circle in spiraling manner. On each of the lines between the starting circles and the center circle, there will be four more small circles and those are the places the player can stop their pieces on. Also, each of the milestone stops (the in-between stops), are connected with many oval lines and circles, to other stops.

Theres a philosophers stone, or midas' hand in the middle or so, so the player who gets to the center first wins.

In each turn a player either can either decide to move to the closest circle of whichever line they're on, or take an action.

and action is:

At the start, each player gets two cards, and these cards state their abilities, and they might include something like;
switfness; move two spaces
kinesis; push another player back a space
teleportation; change locations with another player
silence; disable another players ability,
shape shifter; shuffle through the abilities deck and change your ability
clairvoyance; spy on an ability of another player

Also some abilities block the use of other abilities from different players.

such as silence blocks the use of swiftness, teleportation blocks the use of shape shifting, etc

the catch is that you can lie about your abilities you got from cards, and someone can call lies on you and you have to reveal your card.
If the one who called it a lie is right, you lose your ability, if that person is wrong, that person loses a card.

And there you go, you need to get to the center!

completely different from the image of the transmutation circle board Im thinking of but here you go

In search of the warmth is a third person open world adventure, mystery, tactical melee combat action, story driven rpg game.

Set in a previously near future world where a great calamity, a macabre disaster covered every part of the immediate world as the main character knows, which caused unexplained, cosmic and seemingly magical beings to set foot and roam the earth.

The player sees the world through the eyes and hears the stories through the mouths of Geralt, a living skeleton who opened his visions in a deep forest behind a centuries old castle.

In Geralt's visions, what you will see is that everything is dull and dead, despite them moving and thinking, it doesnt give the impression of life, emotion, something of a sentient.

Geralt, however, notices a tingle of unspeakable feeling inside of him when he looked at particular things that resemble warmth, life and something of the old ages before the calamity, and when he looks at the dull views of anywhere he sees, feeling in his hollow chest, behind the jail of ribs.

Geralt, not being able to identify what this thing is, he sets foot to journey his way to find something that will acknowledge him of what he seeks.

So Geralt travels to find warmth, to find life. Early during his travel, he hears of the last life remaining in this barren world.

The last child, the last seed, so now he has a proper destination of his journey.

Follow him to discover stories, solve mysteries, puzzles and battle overwhelming beings.

hey maybe he's like the skull knight from berserk.

Each time you find a dead titan, you can decide which part you want to take, once a number of vital parts are taken, the remaining powers start to react and turn into dust. Depending on the part you take, you can consume it to upgrade your powers.

If you took a titans heart for example, you would gain stamina, health, power etc.

So Unicorn man, or manicorn, isnt really getting anywhere on his own but the board is on top of a really, really, big baby.

and unimancorn has a minigun mounted on top of the pentacycle.

the board is big enough to cover the baby from mancorn's line of sight.


This is a two player game, online or lan or whatever is good. Both the baby and the Unicman are playable, in fact, one player controls the manunicorn and the other player controls the giant baby.


AND THe objective is to kill eachother.

since the baby's arms are chub fat next level obesity and short, he cannot reach or damage the manicorn directly, and its the same for the manicorn, he cannot damage the baby directly. So,

they start in the middle of a room, and the room is full of possibly dangerous, deadly objects such as shelves stacked with longswords and maces, and on the floor, bathtubs full of bleach.

For example the baby player can run into a wall toe befall the shelf onto the manicorn.

So theres this planet, this planet called earth, and the problem is, everything is messed up!

EVERYTHING is out of balance, i mean well that way its creating a kind of weird balance but anyway the planet will die soon due to unbalance if it is left alone.

Well for example on earth, humans are much too powerful, much, much too powerful to keep a balanced and sustainable planet.

Sooooo you're here to balance things out, with numbers of course. Just like what we did on thursday!

But the thing is you cant just click on the entire human race and reduce their numbers or make them dumb.

You have to really plan it. The most you can change is eg. An area's army's tanks mobility, power etc.

If youre looking to reduce human population, you have to tweak these little things, and create unbalance between humans rather than inter species wise, to create conflict between people and countries, and raise war, or some things in order to decrease the human population to balance it out with other animals, in turn balancing the planet and stabilising it.

This game is about making everything the cliche way.

Played like an old dating sim way, quarter view, move character around and interact with other npcs and objects, in conversations, choose the dialogue you want, etc.

At the start of the game, the player gets to go around and explore the village, and at one point when he is resting under a tree on a hill, the tree crushes inwards and pulls the character in, and thats where you find the book of cliche'. It tells you that if you follow all the instructions and achieve everything listed, you will be granted immeasurable power.

So now you set out on a journey to gather power.

You have to lead your character to make the game follow the most cliche'd story you can think of.

There will be bullet points, achievements and things to do and where you might want to go listed and gathered in the book of cliche'

So you have to click the cliche dialoges, cliche turn outs, cliche stories etc.

One day you reach the far north of the midgard and hear the story of the devil who has the skyfather odin's daughter, the princess imprisoned in his castle for the past eons. So you set out to do the good, in front of the castle, the graveyard of swords, stench of macabre. You will meet the devil in a knight's form.

You now become the devil, the devil king and kill any knights and heroes setting foot on castle grounds. A century have passed, and you are there doing the same thing, at the same place, guarding the princess.

One day in a dream you see Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, and she tells you to touch the seal thats enveloping the princess.

When you touch the seal, centuries of information, stories and godly secrets flowed into your memories, then you knew that the princess is Odin's creation, a representation, an embodiment of his own sins and desires which he locked in the princess's body and put away, and that he is constantly tweaking the fate of knights to create another nameless knight, to defeat you and in turn take your place, so the chain of destiny continues and Odin's sins can be kept hidden and guarded by the devil himself.

So you set a plan, and wait for the nameless knight to appear before you. When he does, you do everything in your power to convince the knight and tell him about what is happening, after exchanging fatal wounds, the knight finally listens to you, and you show him the princess.

This game will be like journey, abzu, bound, etc, yep the mainstream over referenced games.

Calming music, nice environment and all

The game's objective or really just underlining motive/general guideline is to leave traces of you, hints and indications that you were there, that you journeyed past this place, and tell your story through it to the people who have yet to come.

Do something creative, anything that works, to leave a trace that another sentient being was there, for other humans or sentient beings for yourself to notice, read and realise your existence, your journey and your story.

The game will have general direction guides, but you're free to explore and travel anywhere you feel like, and depending on your location or course, new paths will be set for you. through the paths you take, the things you do while journeying, the way your leave traces, it'll tell stories to the people who will set their eyes upon your traces, your children.

This world is your book and you're the writer.

The traces can be anything like wall carvings, sculpture etc

tbh idk what im talking about but the idea is cool

One friday morning you got so drunk that you invited all your friends for a eckin party at your place! ...and then you fell asleep

You got up from your bed at 9pm with the sound of heavy music, hungover but you had an idea of what you've done and the likely consequences of it.

This is a virtual reality game in which the player has to stop all his/her friends partying and breaking down his house, strike them with a bat, throw spears and dishes at them and kick them out. Just stop them from possibly destroying your entire house.

Because youre hungover and still slightly drunk, what people call drunkover, and everyone in the party is drunk, EVERYTHING in game is ragdoll. Your fridge might jump on your and bend itself, idek.

When you're not defending yourself, your friends will come to you and force you to drink like any other parties, so the more they hit/gives you drinks, the more you get drunk and the worse the shaky vision, hard controls and ragdoll effects will become.

Just kick them outta yer house, Killing the DJ will do a hefty job.

This is a first person view virtual reality game where the objective is 1.to solve any kinds of problems using communication, and 2. Learning and practicing communication.

The player will have motion sensor cameras reading his/her face, there will be a mic and of course, both hands controllers. Would be amazing to have something like the virtuix omni gaming treadmill for the feet too.

Anyway, in game the player will be put in wide variety of situations with problems, and the player has to talk things out. It could be a sue in court, cowboy standoff, bar fight 101, fantasy kings' gathering, scifi debate etc. Any kind and the player might be the one at the end of a pistol, or stopping a fight between two factions or trying to save someone whos precious to him, yep.

Before the start the player will be given relevant information according to the world and the situation, the player can study it and plan out his/her arguments or possible solutions and important informations etc.

When the game starts, player has to decide when he talks depending on the situation and when the player does, and even when he isnt talking, the camera, the controls and the treadmill will read every player action or inaction and the game will turn out accordingly, judging the player by everything.

Like in real conversations, talks and diplomatic whatever, the player will have to have appropriate body posture, hand gestures and facial expressions, they are tremendous to win the game. Also well, last but the most important, the talk, through the mic the game will read the player's talking and decode it into text and input it in the system, calculating how effective it will be and the opposing talker npc will say things according to what the player said.
The player will win by using the collective of appropriate body gestures, good facial expressions and the right talks. This will help many people become good at talks and diplomacy etc.

Surely wont be possible with the current technology, but in near future when a proper conversation can be had with an artificial intelligence, this will be a great game.

im not sure if this can be called a game but;

Life? Is a community game where the players go on it to submit anonymous written diaries/journals everyday, or any kind of thoughts they're having.

Anyone can freely view this, and what makes it a game is that for example anyone can read all the diaries and thoughts of player A, and a random player B who read all, will start writing a hypothesis/guesses of who player A is, what kind of life he's going through, just some thoughts and at the end, give advice/predict the future player A is going to run into, or just life advice, food for thought etc.

Player A will review this and rate how accurate/good it was, and now Player A has to do review one person. A player can go through up to 5 people a day just to keep things healthy.

Also, people can just read and not do the writing, may be therapeutic for some people going through hardships in life and have no one to rely on.

Depending on the stars/ratings, you'll get ranked and later might even play competitively?

some cool image to go with the kinda weird idea!

Tag along is basically snake made into a board game!

This game can be played by two or up to 8 players.

Tag Along is about taking enemies' points until the opponent has no more left, and you win!

If played with eight players, at the start of the game, four players pieces will start at the middle of the four edges, and other four will spawn at the middle point of the first four players. Each player can move their piece by rolling a dice and moving that much on the blocks.

every piece has a direction to them, if a player's piece stands on an adjacent block to another piece, he now has the control over that piece, or if his piece met another piece infront of that piece, they would have to either roll a dice or do paper scissors rock to see who wins and the winner takes over control, the one who has been taken in, can decide whether to try and get out or not, if they do want independence back, they can roll a dice and if 6 rolls, they are freed. Anyway, as the game goes, the game ill turn into two groups, or rather, two players with all the other players attached to their back. They duke it out and when a piece hits the side of a long group, the piece that has been hit and the other pieces on the back of it will break off and move and stick to the back of the attacker, and so on

like snake game

Classic Snake Game

Copya is a board game, divided in four separate areas of the board, either triangles or squares will do.

in the middle of the board is a black curtain which stops anyone from peeking other players boards.

There are six pieces for every player, and one of the pieces is the king piece.

player 1, his turn, he moves all the pieces and when he's done, he calls out the location for three of his pieces.

One for his king piece, one for a piece thats adjacent to the king piece, and one for a piece thats horizontal or vertically in line with the king piece and another one for a piece that's diagonally in line with the king piece.

The next player, player 2. Has to guess where the player 1's king piece is, and move his pieces to catch the king.

While also moving his other pieces along with his king piece, the king piece has to be adjacent to a piece and in line with another piece.

He calls out the locations, and player 3 moves, player 4 moves and player 1 moves according to player 4

When a player thinks one of his piece is on the same location as the previous player's king piece, he can call it and open the curtain/wall between them, and if the player who called it is right, the one who got caught gives a piece to the player who won.

When someone loses the third piece out of the five excluding the king piece, he is out of the game.

Tower of Asgaroth is a... board game?

Tower of Asgaroth is set up by stacking six flat blocks on top of each other to make a tower.
each blocks walls are thin with holes and the inside is empty. When the tower is set up, four players sit around the tower with their own walls.

Each player gets five pieces, with short sticks at the bottom for them to stick into the holes on the tower.

The objective of the game is to get all five pieces over the tower and into the middle.

So to do that, each player gets two movement points every turn and they can use it however they want.

when a player finished moving his turn, a player at the opposite side, holds up a long stick and shoves it thorough one of the holes on his wall, and it gets through to the other side and if lucky, it pushes out a piece of the player who just finished the turn.

Fallen pieces need to climb again.

image to illustrate a little of how it would work:

(edit after a month: I uploaded my drawing through my phone but its coming up with an x-box so ill just put a photo of a tower)

Escape the mazes is a 1v1 board game played in multiple short rounds.

The board is 10x20, divided in two 10x10 boards by a line in the middle. These separate boards are each players play area.

the players start with four pieces on the four corners of their 10x10 boards, the objective is to get to the middle square of the board first.

the game starts with the players holding four cards in hand, and is played in turns and every turn, each player gets to move all four pieces one square, and use two cards and draw two from the middle deck to refill. Or sacrifice a card to gain one move power(to move a piece one square).

The cards include things like:
wall; place 3x1 wall on enemies territory
lightning; stun and immobilize an enemy piece for one turn
kinesis; push an enemy piece one square.
destroy; destroy a wall.
deplete magic; place a 1x1 totem, if any of the enemy pieces are around the 2x2 totem area, the enemy can only use one card.
swamp; creates a 2x2 swamp square that if an enemy piece is on it, enemy's move points drop by 1

and trap cards which you put face down upon usage until its activated.

mirror mirror!@!@; if an enemy piece's location is same as your piece, you can move that enemy piece to the location of any one of your pieces.
cleanse; if an enemy stays in totem area for four turns, lifts all visible spells off your board
destruction; if an enemy stays in swamp for four turns, destroys all walls on your board.


Also there are trap tokens for spells that only activate when the enemy steps on that token,

you can identify a tokens link to the face down trap card by reading the number on the trap token and the order your trap card is in.

examples would be
bear trap; immobilise the enemy piece for one turn
fake traps; put this card down like a trap card, and place a trap token on enemys board.
sand pit; when stepped on, replace with a 3x3 sand pit token which drags an enemy piece to the middle one space every turn for three turns.

etc

most common cards will be the wall cards.

possible features; mana tokens gain either every turn or with spells, used for big spells, trap tokens that confuses the enemy, players champion card abilities.

The game might look similar to bloons td battles.

td battles was so fun oh damn

watafol is a survival board game with cards in which the rectangular or square board is right before a waterfall, and all the players pieces are being swept to the edge of the board which represents the waterfall, and death, when a player touches the waterfall, he is out of the game.

so at the start, all pieces are at the far end of the board from the waterfall edge.

Every turn all players moves a space towards the waterfall.

and every turn, players can take an action, either move one space or use a card.

Thats where cards come in yes, each player starts with two cards and everytime they use a card, they can take one from the deck.

Four categories of cards; offensive, defensive, displacement, hibernating.

Offensive cards might include; stun a player for one turn, push a player back two spaces, create a 3x1 inhabitable space that blocks player movement and pushes them back, move a player back one space and you advance one space.

defensive; shield from all spells, create a 1x1 block under you which frees you from the current for a few turns,

displacement; jump three spaces, swap locations with another player, create a column of faster current

hibernating; if someone uses an attack card on you, reflect it to them, jumps three spaces forward right before falling down the waterfall.

also some cards cost your spaces in turn for big spells, yep you get the idea.
