Game Idea (Note to Shelf)

Paralax.

Include in the game a cellophane sheet, which is placed over the game map. Players place game-pieces on this sheet, but still using the underlying map.

Some game mechanics would allow the cellophane sheet to move, thus displacing all of the tiles on the board by an equal amount. This could knock some pieces into invalid places, change the scores of some players, and create tactical advantages.

A gimmick, sure.  But potentially an interesting one.

Yes, I have games on the brain this week.
