Or better yet, a Theme Hospital style one (would fit more with the challenges)

Rollercoaster tycoon the boardgame? :-p

Because you haven't. Get on with it. I'd (probably) buy a copy.

Rolled 1d1000 : 954, total 954

Working on something else at the moment, but I cant see why not.....

Ozle · « **Reply #4 on:** March 08, 2013, 12:45:41 pm »

I think Hospital would work better as you can have challenges turn up.

I know there have been a few hospital Sims about, but all of them have been co-op. And I hate co-op (and not just the supermarket)

This one looks quite similar in layout to theme hospital, so best shelve that idea.

Back to Theme Park then...

I've got a pretty good understanding of theme parks, but I am pretty new to gaming. I will start throwing ideas together to try at Game Night at work.

Is it going to be print and play? If not I will require a playtest copy free of charge.

Monopoly Junior is Theme Park themed.

Ozle · « **Reply #11 on:** March 09, 2013, 08:26:54 am »

Yeah, should be print and play to start with to enable people to test it.

You'll probably need the http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/ to get the 9 on a sheet display easier.

Also, pretty sure it should be forum game-able

Ozle · « **Reply #12 on:** March 09, 2013, 09:52:08 am »

Hit a slight problem with the visitor mechanism, working on it

eHalcyon · « **Reply #13 on:** March 09, 2013, 12:25:01 pm »

Very curious how you're doing it. The most difficult thing IMO is how to get the sense of actually building a theme park (note that a theme park-themed game has to be about building it, but that seems most natural to me). In particular, building a roller coaster.

Ozle · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2013, 12:30:36 pm »

oh its all about building it!

enfynet · « **Reply #15 on:** March 09, 2013, 12:33:33 pm »

Just like rollercoaster tycoon.

I have a few ideas myself but haven't really had time to focus on anything with my work schedule this weekend (Oz...)

If I was more familier with games this would probably be easier for me. I'm curious to see what Ozle has so far.

Ironically, I had already considered the retheme Through the Aisle: A story of Commercialisation.

I didn't get very far

No retheme here!

Same here. I was thinking of publishing "Guess Your Roll" as an IRL game. Anyone know where I can get D1000s produced?

enfynet · « **Reply #20 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:39:00 am »

d1000 would be a monster. Golf balls only have ~400 sides (dimples)... I'm thinking at least baseball-sized with golf ball sized dimples...

Qvist · « **Reply #21 on:** March 11, 2013, 05:52:11 am »

d1000? Just roll 3 d10s.

Thats what this one is. 3D10s built into one.

Also, still working on this game, needs big adjustments, but happy with the early premise.

I haven't looked at the rules, but the summary suggests that the theme is visiting a fair, rather than building or managing one.

Edit: This one might be though: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/6627/scream-machine

Edit2: Ahh, and this one coming up, but there's not much info on it: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/133604/theme-park

I think scream-machine is the closest to an actual amusement park building game.
