My next designs are based on simplifying things a little.  Breanna thought a pirate game would be cool and I have an idea on sort of an Express version of Pirate's Cove.  The Pirate's Cove version I've been mulling in my head has actually had a deck of cards, pieces parts and other stuff in it, but I haven't really prototyped it yet.  The emphasis would be on ships and beating the tar out of each other as is Breanna's interest in games in general.  A simple way to mess people up will be the name of the game.  I'm motivated by dice for this design at the moment.  More mulling before I commit.

The other game that I would like to do a dice version of (that I just thought of in the last 15 minutes) is Rail Baron of all things.  RB is a great candidate because it is already a sort of mathematical game of destinations and picking railroads.  There may be a way to dice roll railroad names and destinations for a very quick filler game.
