2. Our Theme ‘Fortune Telling’ [Palm Reading]
Based on the board game we played in class
6 Fortune Paths:
Health
Love
Business
Life
Fame

3. Our Game Rules
Placement on the board and score at the end of the game will give the player their fortune
The goal is to earn the most points
Turn-based based game with up to 4 players
Played on a board made of hexagonal tiles
Each player chooses one of the 6 fortune paths
Each path has a different icon, color, and strength/weakness associated with it
Each path gives each player a specific tile set

4. Our Game Rules Cont. There are a set number of action points per turn
Actions points can be used to place a tile or move the player
3 Points per turn
You can accumulate action points up to a certain number (9)
Players must build a path between preset checkpoints to reach their path’s goal (they must hit all checkpoints before reaching their goal in order to end the game)
The game ends when one of the players reaches the final goal checkpoint along their fortune path
The player that ends the game will receive bonus points

5. Our Board Mechanics
The board will consist of the following tile types:
Set checkpoints for each fortune path
Final goals for each fortune path
Effect tiles
Colored tiles
However, most tiles will be blank so that players can build their paths
Checkpoints generate score points every turn after they have been reached
Random tiles on the board will have effects

6. Our Effect Tiles
Effect Tiles: These will relate to fortune (e.g. An obstacle would say, “You’re plans are not going well”)
Obstacle - no set tiles may be placed here
Bomb - this background tile will explode, removing any set tiles on or touching it, after 10 turns
Chaos - set tiles placed here will be changed to a random color after5 turns
Good Luck - set tiles placed here have double effect
Health/Stamina - if the player walks over this set tile, they don't lose an action point for moving

7. Our Effect Tiles Cont.
Longevity - can remove opponents set tile if it has been in play for at least 1 turn
Life/Planning - this set tile gives an extra action point every 3 turns
Envy - opponent set tile becomes a player set tile, even if it is a special set tile
Fate/Foresight - this set tile and all those touching it cannot be affected by another player
Curse - opponent set tile will disappear next turn
Business/Wealth - gives double score points
Competition - obstacle set tile
Fame/Ambition - Acts as three set tiles
Leverage - once this set tile is placed, no opponent set tiles can be placed on any adjacent background tiles

8. Our Tile Mechanics
Tiles that are put down will generate score points each turn
Placing a player tile on top of a pre-set colored tile that is the same color associated with their path will give the player double points for that set tile
Players can lay tiles on top of other players pre-set colored tiles, but will not receive points for these
Tiles cannot be placed on top of opponent tiles, this also means that two different color tiles cannot occupy the same background tile (allowing blocking through normal path creation)
Tiles cannot be placed on top of opponent tiles - UNLESS it is a special set tile that specifically effects another tile. If such a tile is placed on a Good Luck background tile (double effect) the player who placed that special set tile can choose to affect one other adjacent set tile
Each tile set will have a specific number of different effect tiles
