Zach Armentrout - Writings and Prototypes

A selection of examples of previous work. Find some prototypes for board games, and some writing samples used in searches for previous jobs.

These games were all cancelled for one reason or another, but if you'd like to see more, feel free to email me and I'll update you on some new projects! I also use OneNote as a game design diary, so most of my ideas are very free-form, but I'd be willing to share that as well!

"Troutopoly"

A prototype for a 4x Euro-ish game I made. It went through a few rounds of playtesting but was ultimately shelved. I may come back to it, but it was one of my first real attempts to take a game from idea to an actual workable prototype.

Untitle Faction Warfare Game

A VERY early design I worked on with a friend to try to build a MOBA board game. While it never made it to the table, it had some interesting ideas and we went through quite a few design iterations.

Lords & Liars

This started as a project for my brother in law. He needed to create a game using a standard 52 card deck that had at least 3 distinct rules, and I came up with this.
Ultimately, after many design changes and tweaks, it didn't pan out but it shall live on in infamy and you can still play it today.
