We were talking about ways to use old mechanics in new games or situations.<br /><br />We discussed Stefan Feld's use of the Mancala wheel in Trajan, which we both enjoy very much. <br /><br />I suggested that you could pull in the old Pick-up-stix game and use that as a worker placement mechanic where the color of the stick you draw out determines the class of action you could take. Your inclusion of Jenga in the short list above could also be used in the same way. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this. It expanded my thinking about this, which is something I'm always trying to do!<br /><br />Pat SmithDr.Wictzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880199562978081307noreply@blogger.com
