ZOP is an acronym derived from the Czech words Zvedni-Otoč-Polož (lift-rotate-place), and it essentially describes what the device does and how players can play the game. Just by simply rotating these basic pieces as group, they can achieve different positions and they can be exchanged between groups.
ZOP is an entirely new mechanism for creating board games. This innovative approach allows for a dynamic and engaging gameplay experience, offering players unique opportunities to strategize and interact. The simplicity and scalability of this mechanism make it adaptable for a wide range of game genres, ensuring both ease of production and versatility in game design. By incorporating this mechanism, developers can create games that are not only challenging but also accessible to a broad audience.
The idea of the ZOP is very simple. However, it allows you to create complex structures for different types of board games.
Please note: ZOP is not for free use, so if you are interested in using ZOP commercially, please contact us.
