As I stated in an earlier post I am rying to write a boo that will  
have 100 new games for the piecepack.   I had a brainstorming 
session and came up with 16 concepts which I am starting to 
flesh out into first drafts.  Here are the ideas I am excited about 
the most so far:

Trick-or-Trick:  Be the first kid to collect a treat from every house 
in town and get back home safely.  Will you dare to enter the 
haunted house or cemetery.  Bad things can happen, but the 
brave are often rewarded.  Play tricks on opponents to slow them 
down.  Random board set-up, and lots of dice rolling to keep 
things chaotic.

Quarm:  This is a scaled down version of a  game design I made 
back in 1990, but never did anyhting with.  the original version 
required about twice as many pieces as a standard  piecepack, 
but its scaling nicely so far with only minor rule changes.  This is 
a pure skill tactical game moving one of a set of pieces each turn 
according to strict rules.  The goal is to eliminate opposing 
pieces or capture special spaces called quarm.
