Jollyphony - a crowdsourced board game manufacturers developed by a
group of singaporean youths - got me thinking about the future of
games.
Suppose there was a wireless manufactured dice for users to play on an
ipad platform (an app with a developed rule engine). Players would
have the face to face interaction of board game experience while
tapping on the future technology.
Another wave is to leverage on the prosumer wave. Traditional model of
selling board games is flawed. time to shift the financial burden from
consumers to producers of games. publisher pay to produce customised
games on a highly-faciliative and collaborative platform which helps
to distribute the games, with downstream royalties for the producers.
Bottle-ups, another finalist, proposes a new drinking concept.
This also set me thinking. Drinking games tied to drinks (provided
simple instructions and facilitator) combined with technology,
allowing customisation of drinks (drink creation made by X)and offer
after-bar services. This can create an interlocking referral system
with network externalities
anothe thought is franchising as a viable growth model vs venture
capital. That is for a different post
