new game style

by **richardgarr** on Tue Apr 17, 2007 10:01 pm

I was playing with the idea of a capture the flag type game....Here are some quick ideas on options for it.

_----can be played on any map

----the flags are only able to be seen by the owner,

----when the country that had the flag on it is conquered the flag is now visible.

----when all the flags are captured game is over

----flags can be moved by owner when forting...same rules apply depending on game style chosen

----even if a player's flag is captured they can still try to recapture it as long as they are still alive...

----can be played as a 1 on 1 game

----when flag is recaptured by original owner it becomes invisible again..

-----option of invisible or visible flags on game setting

These are just a few quick ideas. Any other ideas would be great..I feel this would be great as a man to man game option....mabe even apply it to term as a fast game option.

What do you mean when all the flags are captured the game is over? like by people who hadn't origianlly owend it or when the same person captures them all. Also i think that if you own a flag for like 3 turns it should be invisible to you.

he meant that you all have 5 flags that you can deploi in the begiining (i guess) and you have to get all the flags of the opponent to win

can't be done in the current system. to allow the player to self deploy the flag wherever he wants is impossible, and to make the flags in predefined zones kinda sucks because some lucky guy might start with both flags.

also the winning condition to hold the flags for 3 turns can't be implemented.

There are so many cool variations of Risk that have not been implented on the site, like adding capitals, which is similiar to what you are suggesting but I think it's more playable. Unfortuantely, Hasbro might have the copyrights. I'm not sure.

Anybody played with capitals?

___each player would have 1 flag that they would own and be able to see...the other players would not be able to see it until the flag is captured.

----when all flags are captured by the same player game is over..

----flags would be deployed by player during first round...

theses are a few more ideas

----make an option of how many flags need to be captured in the game set up..ie; 1 flag ...2 flags...all flags...ect
