I’m not participating this time, but I’ve come up with a game idea that someone might use.
Lately the “Rich Harrison” pasta meme has been popular, and I thought you can make a game parody of the show Pawn Stars.

The game would have 2 stages: buying in the shop and then selling on auctions.
The flow of the game would be as follow:

1. You start in the shop and random people come in with random items. I would make the items fake, funny and ancient (theme).
2. The objective is to negotiate with the sellers and try to buy at the lowest price. As a hurdle, people will come with fake (as in in-game fake) items that will later not sell so you have to watch out for those. You can also use experts as a helpline but they cost money. For each item you have actions like “buy at asking”, “negotiate down”, “reject”, “ask expert”, “bribe expert to low-ball”, etc.
3. Say there are 7 in-game days between auctions and you get 2-5 people show up every day at random. You buy and then at the end of the week you auction off what you bought.

In between buying and selling you can have exchanges between the 4 guys working there, but the main character you control is Rick Harrison. Basically the idea is to make a parody of the show. I played a random episode for myself and wrote down the first few lines I heard:
– I’m Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I’ve learned after 21 years – you never know what is gonna come through that door.
– At my shop, family comes first and money comes second, depending on who you ask.
– Do you mind if I have someone look at it? I know a little bit about it. Just letting you know, he’s a little odd.
– So I brought a little touch of Jazz today for you. A signed picture and a handkerchif of Louis Armstrong.
– This is such a rare piece … I definitely want to get a few grand out of this.
– Have you ever had this authenticated by anybody?

It might be funny and cool, it might be boring and sad.
Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good luck everyone, have fun!
