Game based on Switzerland

18 years ago

Here is a little brainstom request: My 14 year old daughter has a project for school make up a board game in a state or country that you would like to visit that can be played. She chose Switzerland as she has heard about it from me but has yet to visit. She wants to make it a combination monopoly-type and activity game. So far we have places to visit and two types of pick-up cards: chocolate bars (good stuff) and cow paddies (less desireable consequences). It includes purchase of farms, cities, historical sites, mountain places etc from the guide books, and activities to do (ie on chocolate bars: yodel to the tune of a pop song and collect 5 SFR. On cow paddy card : break a leg on Plein Morte while skiing, miss a turn or pay 20 SFR to the Crans- Montana Clinique) Got the idea ? If you have any suggestions send them along (your name will be added to credits on the directions sheet). Keep it family-friendly. Ideas can include food (drop bread in fondue pot in the Geneva restaurant, Beau Rivage , miss a turn), sports (football [soccer] team wins championship in Lucerne sports stadium, collect reward of 600SFR), or travel (tour bus breaks down in Zurich at Tissot watch factory, donate 30 SFR to help mechanic repair engine). Places, people and situations that help to identify the country are needed. Be creative and remember some of your own experiences. Feel free to forward this request along to students, Swiss friends or ex-pats in Switzerland.

Thanks for any suggestions for project due in mid Jan.'06 Have a happy New Year,
