Re: 2013 Game?

No game piece could be more shamelessly recycled than the tetra. On top of that, what new stuff can you really do with it? A mashup of Frenzy with odd game pieces could be entertaining. I like the idea of "physical challenges" the robot has to perform on an object to pull itself up, stack other robots, or balance itself as the endgame portion. They could theme it to a mission to Mars where your alliance has to collect resources of various shapes, sizes and values into 2 of your alliance's movable bins, and doing something like putting the bin on your robot gives you bonus/multiplier points. 2 bots balancing one bin each receives x points, one bot balancing two bins earns y, and spilling your bin earns you a z penalty.

(Doesn't this work better in the Rumor Mill?)
