Initial Idea

My idea is a very simple trading card and board game that gives the player what I can best describe as a canvas to create his own characters, his own map and his own narrative. With a few universal rules and a simple point cost system to keep it fair and balanced, you can devise a truly imaginative and unique game.

This game is called Infinite Strategy. The game has two aspects, the cards and the board. The card aspect of the game starts on the internet with a card editor where you can upload an image, write a description, fill in the stats you want and then purchase your card. Depending the stats you use determines on the point cost of the card. This is what will fairly balance the use of the card during gameplay.

The second aspect, the board, is a large hexagon shape. The board will have three layers. The base which is just a single colour hexagon (colour of your choice), the second layer will be birds eye view pieces of scenery which you can arrange on the base in whatever way you want to create your own map to compliment the narrative you have created. Once you have done this the third layer will be a large piece of see through assertate with smaller hexagon spaces which you place on top of the base and scenery. This gives you set spaces that will determine your pieces movement.

Both these aspects allow for complete creative control over the narrative of the game. This control can be extended to certain gameplay rules that will allow you to create certain scenarios on the board for your own directed narrative.
