symbioidljOK, cheesy name, but I think I have further thought on the demon soul ladder game idea. This is one I think I can really pull off. It's a board game.
1) Board with each corner a pit of hell.
2) Center of board is earth with a gate in the middle.
3) Colored wooden blocks with numbers on the bottom. These are the "people/souls"
The goal is to build a ladder/pile out of hell with souls you kill/destroy/steal/convert, whatever. The soul pieces are colored. They move around the earth in the middle, their "life" wandering the planet. I'm thinking this would be done one piece at a time, not sure yet.
Anyways, the coloring indicates a certain vice these souls have (based on the 7 deadly sins, natch), though maybe something else, we'll see.. The number represents the willpower of these souls to resist temptation.
As a demon, you receive cards that you play on the souls. These cards indicate various vices. The higher the number of a soul, the higher the number of cards needed to be played on that piece in order to "capture" it.
Each demon has a "sphere of influence" which radiates from it's corner into the "4 corners of the earth" As a soul wanders into the demon/players territory, the player gets a bonus (in the form of 1 less vice needed to play). The demons have their own affinities, as well, so certain sins will need less of a card (i.e. I pick gluttony as my special sin, then, if a gluttonous individual is in play, I need 1 less card to play).
Then, as you capture souls, you build the bridge out of these wooden blocks/pieces and move your demon piece across this bridge/ladder. The other players can knock you backwards, and steal souls from your pile (don't have the mechanics).
Finally, once you reach the middle, the guardian demon (Abaddon) has to be fought (parallels of Jacob's wrestling with the angel in the Jacob's ladder story)... The other players then play the role of Abaddon and fight you (again, need a mechanic for this). If you win, you win the game, if not, back to the pit you go (perhaps eliminated?)
Likey???
I found aplace you can get a blank game board for cheap, so we'll see. I can sketch it out on paper, but I think if I get it done right, I could make some extra cash.
