Thanks for the cool ideas, Peter! That's really about how I pictured
it, as well. Mancala was one of the first that sprang to mind-- it
has its genesis in seed sowing, so it's perfect. Then again, you
could also have a blast with changing some more modern board games
like Careers and Monopoly into Gloranthan versions. I can just
imagine
some of the results! The little symbols in the HW books would
translate great on the Careers board, for example-- and the little
inner paths on the board could be labeled as hero quests!
I have been planning to do a more extensive writeup of the games, complete with names, legends, etc. perhaps as something to play at an upcoming con (like Tentacles). Unfortunately I've been a little busy with the dissertation and my vacation lately. *grin*
Maybe I'll get ambitious sometime soon -- if so, I'll post the descriptions here. :-)
