I've seen Hunger Games variants done in X-Wing, so it ocurred to me why not try something similar in IA .
Let's brainstorm a Hunger Games scenario.
I figure either of the two Four Player skirmish maps could work, or a custom map might need to be used.
A number of crates would be placed in the center of the map, and a smaller number maybe scattered around the edges.
Each player controls one character.
For simplicity and diversity's sake, everyone should be using Skirmish deployment cards (not hero sheets from campaign).
No duplicate characters allowed. If two people bring Jedi Luke , one of them has to change.
Characters must be unique single figures.
Not everyone will be on an even playing field because of this, but hey it's the hunger games. Make alliances or get eliminated.
The crates in the middle of the map can be interracted with to draw item cards from campaign.
This is where things get a little funky balance wise. Hunger Games needs a bunch of loot in the middle for those brave enough to venture there, but I'm not sure how either the crate cards, or item cards would work with only skirmish deployment cards.
What are your thoughts on how to make a semi-balanced Hunger Games variant?
EDIT:
Here's what I've got right now that needs testing.
