Welcome to Subsim, arcuspilot!
Gaame looks interesting, and the video is well-made!
OT regarding cardbox games I have recently seen a Zeppelin airship cardboard game, "simulating" a german WW1 Zeppelin on various raids and recconnaissance missions. It is quite complicated, you have cards for ballast, hydrogenium, ammunition, fuel, then event cards like wind, storm, rain, ice, clouds, buoyancy changing at various altitudes, enemy fire, ground fire, all mixed and based on your own altitude and conduct of the airship. It looks astonishing 'real', and very hard to survive.. I think i will get it
I wish someone could put this in a PC simulation, although i admit it would be very hard to do properly. All the airships that are in electronic sims, are merely modelled on dynamic flying, like a big plane with certain properties, but never including static buoyancy and the like.
