I'm thinking about making a board game where players battle each other using a team of Monsters that they create. It's sort've like a Pokemon/Digimon/Monster Rancher battle, each side creates or chooses three Monsters and the battle takes place on a battle grid (Each square representing about a yard of space.)

For what I'm imagining, you'd only need a few supplies:
>A PDF of the rules
>Some Index cards to write your Monster stats
>A handful of D8s (Or D6s, I haven't decided yet.)
>A grid of 1 inch squares and tokens to represent your monsters.
>Pencils and erasers

Monsters can be constructed from different pieces and parts, given an element, and have attacks selected for them. Each of these will have different point values when building your monsters, and every monster would have an inherent ability. So, for example you might make a quadrupedal lizard with horns, that is of the fire element. Horns, four legs, and lizard would all have specific values, and would allow you to have access to certain moves when building your monster. So "Diablo Horn" could be a move, for instance.

I was also thinking of making a "Game night version" of it, where each win or loss gives you a certain amount of additional build points, so after each round, you could "Evolve" your monsters, and have access to more moves and abilities. Then you could have an ongoing tournament that takes place over a couple of hours, with monsters getting stronger with each fight.

What do you think? Anyone have any additional ideas?
