An Online Board Game About Nexus Skyrim Modding Community

[yugioh2015]

The Nexus forum has a lot of great mods to offer. But how about a game to celebrate the forum itself? With this in mind, I made an auction type online board game "Nexuscraft: Skyrim" with World_Gate platform.

(It's hard to gather friends to play board games together in real life, so I'm trying my luck here)

The goal of this game is to remember the community's history. You can see some major modders and 20+ popular mods in this game. The images are collected from forum.
The selected mods are my favorites. But that's just personal opinion. Those that didn't make it into the list are also great mods. It's just I can't stuff too much things in this game.

Here is a demo video.

Game settings:
4 players will use resource cards to try to finish mods.
Each mod requires certain skill levels. The requirement can be hard to meet, so players need to cooperate and finish the mod together.
Each mod offers certain points when finished. Players need to negotiate and compete with each other to get the best possible points.
When game ends whoever has the highest points wins the game.

Game rules in a nutshell: if you know the board game I'm the Boss, you are good to go.

Game rules explained in details:
4 players start with 5 cards in hand. The game continues for 24 turns.
In each turn, a new mod will be shown on field as well as the required skills to finish it and the points it offers. Now players can freely use cards and claim how many points they want.
There're two types of cards. One is contributor. This type has skills on it and can be placed onto field. The other type is tactical card, which has special effects to make the game more interesting.
One player will become host for this turn. The host can decide which players can participate in this mod by clicking the avatars. When mod requirements are met, that is there're enough contributors to meet the skill level and points are distributed properly, host can conclude the deal. All participants will get the points they want and use the contributors on field. The host will get an additional card as bonus. The host can also choose to pass the project and draw 2 cards instead. Whatever the choice, the turn will end.

There's an additional element in this game. Each mod has a type: blue, green or yellow. Each player will get a secret goal at the start of the game. The goal will be something like if you finish certain type of mods, you will gain additional points in the end.
When 24 turns have passed, the game ends. Whoever has the highest score wins the game.

Now I publish it as a hobby project. It is free to use and collects no personal info. There's no background activity. For all the servers I am paying out of my own pocket.
Since I am also a fan of Skyrim modding, I decide to come up with a game about this theme and see if there's anybody with the same interest.
