This is a Blog

Welcome to my blog. What is this blog about? Well I'm going to design some like card game and board games. The blog is here to track the progress of actually designing them. I am doing this because I am interested in seeing what makes a good game. Mostly this project give me a chance to explore different mechanics and different kinds of games. 

So far I got some ideas. Like chess but with different armies. It's an idea that has already sort of been done, but I have some ideas to expand upon it. I've planned out some armies that operate on different win/loss conditions. Otherwise, haven't made much progress besides that. Something I need to look up is the nonstandard pieces, like that jumpy one that moves diagonally. It would probably also be a good idea to look at other chess variants and see what differences they make. 

Biggest real issue I can see in the future is testing the games out. That will probably take a bit of time, and also I will need to find volunteers to play. Those are all the concrete plans for now; I have a couple vague concepts for card games, but I need to flesh those out more and it would be a good idea to take this one at a time so I don't get overwhelmed. Who knows though, I may move be able to get more done than I expect. That's all for now, see ya.
