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

1

Describe Your Game

Enter a theme, concept, or description. "A strategic territory game inspired by ancient Rome" or "fast-paced racing game for kids."

2

Configure Parameters

Set player count, complexity (1-5), and select target player personas for evaluation.

3

Generate & Evaluate

AI generates a complete game with board type, mechanics, rules, and visual representation. Then synthetic personas evaluate it.

4

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.
