The clubhouse is caffeinated and ready to jam, game jam that is.
The clubhouse is giving a prompt where air movement is the main mechanism of action and they create a physical game for a tabletop (in the style of 'Hungry Hungry Hippos'). The notoriously unpredictable 'Eddies' of air movement gives this game it's name. The main challenge for the team - a more sanitary air blower mechanism than drinking straws: a tiny bellows, small whoopie cushions, slide whistles, or party noisemakers?
Blowing mechanisms - one per player (drinking straw in playtest)
A bunch of small peices of junk
A container for the small peices of junk
Playing feild (box, 8 sided)
Rule Card Deck
This is a game about some young teenagers who find some leaf blowers in their (octagonal) cul-du-sac and make a game with them.
Each player will select a side of the playing field (the box) as their home territory. The goal of the game is to have the least amount of junk (points-wise) fall off of your side of the field.
Rule Cards:
- Separate the Rule cards into the three categories: Puff Variants, Point Variants, and Zone Variants. Shuffle the cards from each category, and pull three of each category to start each of the three rounds.Cards rule examples
- Puff: Each player has 3 puffs per turn
- Point: Each black item is worth +1 point, all other items are worth -1 point
- Zone: The windy end of your blowing mechanism may not be placed within zones 1+2 of the playing field
- Shuffle the remaining rules cards from three categories together.
- From the combined deck, deal 4 cards to each player.
- The player may look at their hand of cards
Place Junk (perform at the start of each round):
- Gather some junk and place it in a container. Typically dice and pieces from other games will make up the majority of the junk, but this may also be dodads from your junk drawer like golf pencils, nails and screws, magnets etc.
- At the beginning of each round a different player will grab a handful of junk from the container and place it in the center of the 8-sided playing area.The junk placer may not arrange the junk when placing it down. Any junk that falls off of the playing field will be returned to the container of junk.
