Feeling very inspired by my trip to Stonehenge yesterday. I’ve tried a few times to design a stone circles game but it’s never had the right gravitas.
@rorymuldoon Ow, I’m so jealous! That’s something I’d really like to see sometime. Please make a game, I’d buy it for the theme alone.
@Suzan I’d really like to. It’s a bucket list design for sure!
@rorymuldoon we need to play Die Dolmengötter
@iain @rorymuldoon it was legitimately my first thought when I saw the original picture earlier.
@gpage @rorymuldoon I won't forget the block cycling variant...
@rorymuldoon You need to make the pieces out of actual stone.
@golgaloth oh yes that would be lovely. You definitely need some way of expressing the solidity of the monument 🤔
@rorymuldoon in my neck of the woods there’s a replica stonehenge, created by an eccentric, Sam Hill ( of “where in Sam Hill?”-fame), as a WWI memorial.
He mistakenly associated human sacrifice with Stonehenge. For him WWI was human sacrifice.
I share because, well, it’s cool, but also because there’re some gravitas-laden ideas in there.

@GorgeCorps oh yes I’ve heard of this place! There’s a stone at Stonehenge called the slaughter stone. The victorians thought it was used for human sacrifice even though there’s no evidence to suggest it had ever been used that way. I guess that’s where the whole sacrificial monument thing comes from.
@rorymuldoon so cool. I hope to get there one day.
