Design Idea Week 12
October 19, 2009Egyptian Hierogyphs!
To people who can’t decipher the language will pretty much treat these as symbols.
When I see symbols I think of those games where you have lots and lots of cards flipped over, and you have to find matching pairs, turning only two cards each turn.
What I have come up with is a multiplayer game. Players are provided a “dictionary” of the meaning of each symbol. A bundle of cards with hieroglyphics on them. Players must flip two cards each turn and find a matching pair. However, after finding a matching pair, the player must explain what the symbol means. If the player is incorrect, the player must put those cards back, and the entire deck is re-shuffled. If correct, the player keeps the cards.
Player with most cards WINS!
