Challenge 5: Business Card

The design I took for his game was pretty simple. Imagine the memory game, only with a twist!

The game is called Memory X-Treme
Rules:
There are 32 cards in the deck, that is 16 matches.

If there are blank cards, players must write a a match on two cards on the plain white side. The deck starts out blank. Players who are writing things on cards MUST make sure that there is a match to that card. A match in this game can consist of anything, words, phrases, pictures, colors, use your imagination!

To play the game, shuffle all 32 cards together, and put them face down (Lined side) onto a table. Roll to decide who goes first, high roll wins. Play will continue clockwise around the table.

At the start of each players turn, that player rolls a six sided dice.

If you roll a 1 or 4: You must find 1 match to collect points.
If you roll a 2 or 5: You must find 2 matches to collect points.
If you roll a 3 or 6: You must find 3 matches to collect points.

If you roll a 6 for example, but can only match 2 sets, your turn is ended and those cards are turned face down where they were. You may flip over any 2 cards for your turn, if you roll a 2 or a 5, if the first 2 cards turned over are a match, you must pick another 2. If you roll a 3 or a 6, if the first 2 cards turned over are a match, you must pick another 2, and if those 2 are another match, you must pick another 2 to score points.

If a player needs to match more sets than there are cards on the table, that player must finish the game in order to get points. For example, if there are 4 cards left on the table, and a player rolls a 3, they must make 3 sets. That player may make only 2 sets in this case because the game will end.

If a match has been found, that player removes both cards from the table. Once there are no more cards on the table, the game is over! Each player scores 1 point for each card (not set!) that he/she has.

  1. I enjoyed this game! If it went commercial, you could consider erasable cards, so people can make the cards each time if they want to personalize the game!

  3. Nick,

    Pretty neat idea for a matching game. Looks like a solid design, and the customization sounds good, too. Though I'm not sure how it relates to business cards...?

  4. I took business cards to mean more about size than anything else. I think what Kate said about being able to erase cards would be great, but I couldn't do that in the time constraints.
