What If... Just a thought. What if for each color, you placed a sequential number on the on the back of the tile? This change would provide a number of pros and cons. It would provide some more information to go by when trying to decide which color a specific tile might be. It would allow for randomly created patterns to be reasonably playable. It would make construction of logical/fun patterns more difficult. etc. However, a change like this would probably change the game quite a bit, and may even result in a completely different game entirely. This may not be the direction that Kory wants for his game, and it may not work out as being all that much fun. Play testing and tweaking would definitely be required. One side benefit, if I recall correctly, is that this could be played with the Piecepack coins. Don't they have a number on one side and an icon on the other? But when the color/icon side is up, it might also be nice to know what the number was on that tile so you would more easily have that info at hand when attempting to decide what colors other tile of the same number might be. Just some thoughts. - Dan P.S.> Kory. I never knew you were also a musician and singer. I found the links on your site to the Black Market Beat and I love it. However, the link for the last song is broken. Let me know if you fix it so I can download that song too. > -----Original Message----- > From: something-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:something-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Christopher > Hickman > Sent: Friday, July 14, 2006 8:34 AM > To: 'General Wunderland.Com Discussion List' > Subject: RE: [Something] RE: [Icehouse] Something for Zendo Fans > > > > each pattern was designed by a human pattern-designer, > > whose goal is to make a fun game experience. > > Yeah, I'm feeling it now that I've played a few more games.
