I've thought about Lego Car Wars, but my thoughts right now just run to "use
Lego to build the vehicles and scenery, and then play." Which would be fun and
get attention, but it's just using Lego instead of regular playing pieces . . .
it doesn't draw on the mighty powers of the brick.
Not that I'm averse to the idea; it just doesn't thrill me as much as the idea
of making games that could only be done with Lego! The Lego-ness of a Lego Car
Wars game would come only from building kewl vehicles and then pulling bits off
them when they get shot.
Now, having said that - I was thinking of minifig scale. If we instead go with a
smaller scale, so that building cars requires more abstraction, it might make
things different. Or not. Hmm.
