The Game of Claim
Players take turns verbally adding 1 to a pile of points (eg: Player A says 1, Player B says 2, Player A says 3, Player B says 4, etcetera)
The first player to say 'Claim' takes all the points.
However, if you say claim too early then you don't build up many points.
Thus the aim of claim is twofold:
a) To be the first to say 'Claim'.
b) To wait until enough points have built up so that, when you do say claim, you score a lot of points.
If you still don't understand the game then imagine the points are coins; the longer the players go without saying 'Claim' the bigger the jackpot gets but in order to win it you have to be the first to say 'Claim'.
Idea: A Myriorama Style Card Game
A Myriorama is an old fashioned victorian toy consisting of a number of cards depicting parts of a landscape or street scene.
But the novel thing about Myrioramas is that if you put the cards in any order they still form a proper picture thus you are able to use them to make different pictures just by rearranging the cards.
My idea is to use Myriorama cards to play a card game with.
Firstly, you have 2 decks of Myriorama cards that show a woodland scene but one deck contains a scene with rabbits in it and one deck contains a scene with foxes in it.
One player, elects to be a rabbit taking the rabbit deck and the other a fox taking the fox deck.
They then shuffle up their cards and then the rabbit player puts down a card face down, then the fox player puts down a card next to that, then the rabbit player puts down a card next to that and they continue doing this until all the cards have been laid down.
They then turn over the cards and whenever, within the myriorama woodland scene that they have created, a fox is next to a rabbit then the fox player scores a point, whenever a rabbit is not next to a fox (for example seperated by a tree trunk or a patch of ground) the rabbit player scores a point.
