Game concept
Had an idea for Tailoring puzzle. A grid of cut fabric pieces. pant leg halves (P) sleeves (S) shirt front/back (T) in Blue, Yellow, Red, and White (or more?). Two halves go together. Bonus points awarded for two full legs (4= pants) and for complete shirts (2sleeves + 2Top) in the same colour. Pairs do not have to be the same colour, but points are only scored for those which are.
Objective
to score the most points by making complete outfits and clearing the board
Gameplay
Select a piece and pair with one of the 4 adjacent pieces. After every pair is removed the board condenses (v,>) until all pieces are removed or no pairs can be made.
Now select a piece, and options are shown.
The pair is moved to the score area
The board pieces slide
A second selection is made
A third
Several pairs later, the first shirts are completed and columns condensed
The final score
Now we add a second colour. the emblem can be used a colour blindness guide.
Skill and strategy enter where more than one choice is available.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to take discoloured pairs in order to clear more of the board, or match up perfect pairs.
More often in multi-colour games the board cannot be completely cleared.
An Example of a three colour board
Some possible wild cards for any shape and any piece of a given colour
Scoring
Would need to playtest more for scoring. Started with 1 for each matching pair, 3 for pair of pants, 3 for a shirt, and 10 for clearing the board. Perhaps an escalation (double - 1, triple - 2, bingo - 4, etc.) for pieces of the same type.
Variability
wild pieces?
End criteria
When all pieces are removed or no adjacent pairs remain to be played.
Difficulty scaling
Easiest: one colour, second colour soon after, third at master??
Crafting type
Tailoring
Known problems
no sense of scaling. I just had this idea so I'm kinda throwing this together to get it down. The scoring maybe very out of whack. Maybe shirts are so hard they need to be worth more points, for example. Also I currently have no variability.
