Punk-O-Matic
This one is not a board game, but I have to write about it anyways. Punk-O-Matic is a very cool "make your own punk music" online game. It was designed and created by a young talented AI programmer and co-worker of mine, Marco Arsenault (Evil-Dog).
In just a few minute, you'll be able to create drum, rhythm guitar and lead guitar beats to build your own punk music. Punk-O-Matic is very addictive. Once you'll try it, you won't be able to stop composing new music.
The game let you control three instrument's beat. For each of them, you need to specify what the beat should be for every second of the song. Take a look at the punk-O-matic lead guitar beat tabs. You can see that it's divided in squares representing one second of the song (15 seconds shown in picture). For every second you need to set a beat value in the square. This value represents one of the thirteen beat available for this punk-O-matic instrument. You can listen to a preview of it before making your final setup.
