Pitfall!

Sorry I have no link. Nor do i think will i create one. If i get it sold to a company ill post it as well as the name i called it.

Wow, this thread is hilarious. I haven't handed out that many +1's in a thread in a quite a while.

I'm really curious about the game. Please describe it!

As for the name, my vote is for "Waropoly"

Its set in the furture. Has 4 countries to choose from. It can be played in 2 hours but can take longer.
That is all i am going to say about it at this point. If I get it published ill post more information about it.

That's awfully vague. It could very well be "Space Parcheesi"

'Fourture'?

@Ezra: "War of Four" sounds better, though the name would make me think it needs 4 players, which would put me off because it's a lot harder to get 4 players together than 2. If it can be played by 2 people then make sure it says that prominently on the cover.

Why not just think of a zappy one-word name that sums up the game - attention-grabbing, interesting, clever, cool, attractive, hopefully financially rewarding? Problem solved.
Those you suggested are extremely lame/tame/to blame/no shame..

Well for being lame it has got lots of likes at other poles. 99.9 percent of everywhere else likes the name war of four. Hm sure its not just you? and thank you speakertoaliens for pointing that out.

To be honest, I dont particularly like both names either. And I think some of the people here agreed with abge initial remark to the same effect. Having said that, it's pretty damn cool you're developing a game and you should name it whatever the hell you like!

Well, I don't know what context "future" is in. If its post-apocalyptic type future, maybe "Ashes of Oblivion" would be a cool name?

It's set in the future and is a war-based boardgame with four powers... hmm... how about....

FOUR WAY SPACEBANG

Or possibly BANG OF FOUR ?

Or perhaps you could focus on the aggressive tactics required of the combatants?

HARDCORE FOURSOME ?

'Spacebang' sounds way cool.

"Or possibly BANG OF FOUR ?"

How about "Gangbang"?

'B of F' too culturally significant.
'GB' too sexually significant.
IMHO

4 player games suck. That's all there is to it. A game needs to be playable for 2-6 people if it's going to have any staying power. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get exactly 4 people to play a boardgame?

lol 7 player games suck too....

After what Abge said, which I take to be true, can anyone come up with a name for some poor creature who is dead in the water?

I start. 'Undertow' (cue Lennie the C).

Honestly, Diplomacy kind of sucks unless you're online or playing in a tournament. My friends and I all like Diplomacy but we never play it because it's so hard to get exactly the right amount of people. We're much more likely to play A&A, RISK!, or (our personal favorite) Rail Baron, because of the variety of people you can play with.

I think you misunderstood me 2 to 4 players can play it. Normaly i would agree with you that 2 to 6 players are the way to go but as i was designing the game play things were really fun with 4 players. So i am leaving it at that for now

Have you picked a name yet?

War of four has the most likes out of all the poles put together (least favorit has been here) but ashes of oblivion has got my eye. It fits my game well because the goal is to obliterate and destroy. Eliminating others is the only way to win. So i think it is between those 2. Waroply is a vary good name to but it just dont go with the game well enough. If i ever create more games i will definately keep it in mind however. Im so close to having it done im excited! There are no dislikes about it yet out of those who have played it! If i get it sold to a company ill post lots of information about it.

Ezra Willis, here's what you do. Go to the bookstore, buy a dictionary and any grammar book. Study them until you can take polls about poles and say "I'll be ill." You seem to have punctuation down though, so that does put you leagues above Nigee in readability, which should be encouraging to you.

Lol i guess im just a kansan red neck. I took a poleee hererrrr. As for ill instead of i'll im just lazy.

Oh sweet! I demand royalties if you use that name! Lol

I like neither name if they go no-where toward describing the game.
