Last weekend I’ve done something that I haven’t done in over 10 years. I’ve played Monopoly with my nephews (12 and 14). It was the classic version of Monopoly, and I completely forgot how much fun it is!
Having the job that I have, I immediately thought “how come there aren’t more board games in flash”? The platform is suitable, the game play mechanics typically aren’t too complicated and they are so much fun!
So for the flash developers that read our blog – see this post as a call to action: start developing board games in flash! If you don’t have an idea for one a good place to start is tachyonlabs – Tané wrote a great brief about some oldies but goodies.
The one that we used to have a lot of fun with was Sorry! That too would make a great flash game. Again, the mechanics are not complex, but it is a great game of revenge!!!!
