Has anyone created a board game based on Melencolia I, with 6+2-sided dice?
It would be especially elegant if the playing board were the engraving itself. I once created a puzzle whose field of play was the painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights", inspired by the tricks that Jim Sinclair and his St. Valentine's Day Massacre co-conspirators ( http://home.earthlink.net/~oldmaltese/Massacre.html) employ to turn maps into puzzles.
What sort of ideas have been developed for turning images into games and puzzles, aside from the well-known gimmicks of turning them into jigsaw puzzles, 15-puzzles, and Rubik's cubes?
There's "Find the X" where X is a cryptic description. And for some pictures you could extend this into a Bridg-it like game where the objective is to connect objects found in some way. Brent Meeker
