For about a year now I've been working on a board game tentatively titled RPG Town. I'm not thrilled with that name - it's functional but lacks a bit of flare. So I'm trying to land on a final name.
In the game, players run a town in an RPG - more specifically, a JRPG. Players place buildings & manage resources (weapons, armor, potions, and magic), which they then sell to heroes. When an item is sold players are awarded victory points and may get special powers. The player who manages her town and sells the most stuff wins, effectively.
One of the secondary hooks of the game is that the art style evolves similarly to how console video game art evolves. At the beginning, players can only build "8-bit" buildings and only "8-bit" heroes come into town. At a certain point the game switches to "16-bit" and the art becomes more detailed and the special powers more powerful. The game ends in "32-bit" mode.
Here's some art so you can see what I'm talking about:
I have a running list of names
here. If anyone has anything to add to that list or opinions about any of the names in there, I'd be glad to hear it!
