| Auctions! |
Here's an intesting thing - Scrabble where point values are assigned by auctioning off the points you already have: http://cheeptalk.wordpress.com/2009/06/18/scrabble-ascending-auction-edi... I feel like there aren't that many auctions in table games, yet they seem to be fundamental to game theory and its wealthier cousin, economics. Is there something good out there I've missed? |

| Storytelling Games? |
We played Once Upon a Time last night at a party, and it was a good time. Could have benefitted from a more controlled structure, I think. With a slightly more aggressive group, it could have become a chaotic shoutfest pretty quickly. The concept is interesting though. How many sorts of "folk games" are around where players cooperate to create a shared narrative? |

| PDF attachments |
Is there any possibility to attach pdf files to submitted games? I have a card game I could submit, but it uses a non-standard deck, and the card faces are as a pdf file. |

| "CCG" using standard playing cards? |
Collectible Card Games are hard to develop on your own, simply because you have to make so many cards. Is there a way to implement a CCG-type dynamic using a standard deck (or two, or more) of playing cards? |

| Fantasy "Anything that's not a sport"? |
As fantasy football draft season is in full swing here, I begin to wonder if the model can be applied to non-sport events. Anything with a human toll (wars, disasters, etc) could end up in pretty poor taste pretty quickly, but is there anything else that happens out in the world that could be tracked competitively? Stock markets and money markets seem like obvious, if uninteresting choices. Is there some other opportunity? Or have sports really cornered the market on safe conflict and strife? |

| Urban military strategy? |
Could you use a standard city map as the base for some sort of strategy game? |

| Tabletop Tower Defense? |
There's got to be a way to do this. Once you've got the basic mechanism, you could go in a number of different ways - cooperative, competitive, single player? |
