So i made post on youtube that is gaining some traction. Buckshot doesn't seem to have any defensive plays to protect yourself, or to use strategy. This idea i have would add another layer to the game
Misdirect: when someone shoots you, you can send the damage to someone else
Deception: you can swap the health of all players on the table. Reverts back to normal after everyone has had a turn
Reload: Put two random bullets in the shotgun
Fortune favor: when someone shoots a blank at you, gain one free item.
Counter polarity: when a player picks up the shptgun. You can use counter polarity to change the bullet to a random color. Even if a blank is in there, it could remain a blank or change.
Not all of them need to be present. Just ideas.
I'm a striving Game designer myself. Hopefully these ideas are viewed as good ones. if you REALLY like it, i'd love to be added to the team. Enjoy!
