Hi, I'm designing a board game that has a theme of figure skating. Hope I'm in the right forum.
I'm a casual fan of figure skating and unfortunately I don't know enough to make choices for my game that will resonate with people who do really know the sport.
I was wondering if anyone would like to advise me? If you are interested, I will tell you more about my game.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Among other things, it still needs a title so you are welcome to make suggestions for that.
My current problem is that I need icons for each of the following elements and I'm not sure what they all look like.
I have a hard time telling one move from another.
Each icon must work for all Ladies, Men, Pairs, and Dance Couples if they do the move in competition.
I don't need pictures to be used as icons (yet). I just need to know what the move looks like so I can have my artist make the icons. However photos/art or links to such would really help me get an idea of what they would look like. Video is less helpful but not completely useless.
*Jump (I got this one. I use a female because her skirt flying out shows the rotation.)
*Spin (I got this one; I'm using a sit spin because it is so distinctive. Here I use a male so that my icons aren't all female.)
*Step Sequence (Here I need help. Could be a male or female but different gender from the Choreographic Sequence.)
*Choreographic Sequence (Here I need help. Could be a male or female but different gender from the Step Sequence.)
*Death Spiral (I got this one.)
*Lift (I have one for this but I need it to work for both Pair and Dance and I'm not sure that it works for both so I need help here. I realize that they do different kinds of lifts and there may not be one that they both do. But I was wondering if there was one that Dance does that is an intermediate position for a Pair? So it would look like the Dance Couple was doing their lift and the Pair were in the process of getting into the lift.)
*Twizzles (I think I got his one but I'm not sure how it looks different from a general spin except that I show a man and a women side-by-side because only Dance Couples do them.) [Also, is it "one twizzle" or "one twizzles" as for one element there are two or more of them as they do them in combination in competition?]
Please correct me if I said anything that is just wrong or illustrates my ignorance.
Thanks for your help.
