Potential Future Modifications

 

• An electronic version would allow for randomness in generating the board and would be easier to play with different rules.
• Creating the individual blocks as magnetic tiles, then overlaying them on a magnet sheet, might be an interesting way to construct a more dynamic game in a physical format.
  • This physical game could have transparent red (or some other color) squares to overlay on regular squares to create the "powerup" squares.
