Gameo
AI-powered board game generator using R.C. Bell's mechanics taxonomy
R.C. Bell's Taxonomy
Built on the mechanics classification from "Board and Table Games from Many Civilizations". Every generated game follows proven board game design patterns: grid, concentric, track, pits, and cruciform topologies.
Player Personas
Generate games for specific player types. Define age, expertise, preferred mechanics, and motivations. The AI tailors complexity, rules, and theme to match your target audience.
SSR Evaluation
Same-Sentence Ratings powered by semantic similarity. Synthetic personas evaluate games with natural language rationales, then scores are derived from embedding proximity - not arbitrary numbers.
Visual Board Generation
Every game comes with a procedurally generated SVG board visualization. Animated illustrations in a hand-drawn Saul Steinberg style, with unique designs for each board topology.
Complete Game Systems
Full rule sets including movement mechanics, capture methods, victory conditions, and turn structure. Games are playable - not just concepts.
Local Storage
Save and manage your generated games locally. Build a library of game designs, compare evaluations, and iterate on your favorites.
How It Works
Describe Your Game
Enter a theme, concept, or description. "A strategic territory game inspired by ancient Rome" or "fast-paced racing game for kids."
Configure Parameters
Set player count, complexity (1-5), and select target player personas for evaluation.
Generate & Evaluate
AI generates a complete game with board type, mechanics, rules, and visual representation. Then synthetic personas evaluate it.
Iterate & Save
Review ratings and rationales. Save games you like, regenerate ones that miss the mark, and build your collection.
Board Topologies
Grid
Chess, checkers, Go. Intersecting lines forming squares or points.
Concentric
Nine Men's Morris, target boards. Nested rings with radial connections.
Track
Monopoly, Backgammon. Linear or looped paths with sequential spaces.
Pits
Mancala, Oware. Rows of cavities for sowing and capturing seeds.
Cruciform
Peg solitaire. Cross-shaped boards with central play areas.
