How to Design "Euro"

:) Since we can never expect anything like "Battle of the Bands" on BSW, then let's try to provide an alternative. For this 1st proposition, then what about with:

"Quarrel of the Quartet"?

First off, then we require some 'musical' "meeples" or this will surely go down in "flaming" FAIL!

Next, should these 'bid' or 'draw set' in some elegantrified 'fashion' and how would "farming" get into this?

2 ??? WHOSE 'bum' are they to be "kissing" or molly-coddling?

3 PROFIT! YOUR BANK ACCOUNT A SPLODE!

There you go now! You've 'created' any myriad for this, now, collect your "kudos", but don't put them ALL within just ANY 'wicker-basket'!
:silly:

It'll never wash. A Quartet means a 4-player only game and you know very well that by law all German games must cater for a minimum range of 3-5 players.

You could kiss the record companies arse. They are like kings.
But the real question is does the game come with musicmeeple?

Nah, it would have to be some 17th or 18th Century String Quartet Deal. You have to write music to impress the Emperor of Austria. You could have a worker placement thing for the different bits of the music. Now that cards are in style, you could even pay certain things for more stirring melodies or something....

but at any rate, you have to make sure the mechanics are completely disjointed from anything musically related.

Or in the vein of current Euros, it could be a dice game. You are writing a waltz. The dice are representing the number of correct notes hit (or something like that). You keep rolling the dice racking up a score. If all z's appear, the Emperor fell asleep and you lose.

Make sure there's no direct confrontation in the game or else the euros will cry.

So the words battle and quarrel are out to avoid offending Euro sensibilities.
And we are in contravention of German law by using the word Quartet.

How about The Emperor's Ensemble ...

Quartet sucks. If you place your musimeeple on a tone or bar, no other person can play it this strophe. How realistic is that? Also the triangle player is seriously handicapped. That instrument just doesn't garner enough prestige points.

I'd've thought you guys would want something classic. An Elviseeple or KISSeeples perhaps!

;) I was going to follow this UP with: "the Trouble with Troubadours" or even some of that insipid & insanitized "the Myriad Madrigal Mystery Tour", with some 'Arkhamming & Whoring it UP' through & through dispositions for any. Just DON'T be "poking the unknown lump" too much, or it'll AWAKEN!

Great, you just invoked the name of KISS. Now we owe Gene Simmons $40,000 in royalties.

No problem! With the millions you'll get for GROGnads custom made ultra rare 'lazer light' skeletor you'll never have to worry about anything like that ever again!

Besides, a quick internet search provides a perfect legal cop-out: I was referring to goodnight kiss music .

If that music game was about KISS, you then of course would have to impress the KING OF THE NIGHT TIME WORLD.
