From Theme Hacks

Jump to: navigation, search

Theme Hacks is a catalogue of new themes for old games - alternate universes where you play under the exact same rules, but instead of building cities you're growing plants; instead of invading countries you're infecting a host body; instead of buying hotels on city streets, you're burying treasure on desert islands.

Changing the theme can change how people think about the game, how they play the game, and even whether or not they want to play it in the first place.

[edit] Hack archive

There's no formal structure to this site yet, we'll just see what evolves. Theme hacks written up so far have been:-

  • Cthulhupoly - Monopoly as an altar-building descent into madness.
  • Ichneumon - The abstract game Nexus as a larvae-implantation battle.
  • Zombies Over Camelot - Shadows Over Camelot transposed to a zombie-surrounded shopping mall.

If you've got any more ideas, write them up. If you've got any thoughts or questions, put them on the talk page.
