Themes

The gamejam has three themes. Participants must address one or more of the themes in their game. Games which address more themes will be rated higher.

The themes for The Arbitrary Gamejam 10 are:

Broccoli

Plant (Brassica oleracea, variety italica), form of cabbage of the mustard family. A fast-growing, upright, branched, annual plant, it bears dense green clusters of edible flower buds. Native to the eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor. Broccoli thrives in moderate to cool climates. Its flavour resembles that of cabbage but is somewhat milder. It is one of the most broadly nutritious of all common vegetables. Image of broccoli from Wikipedia

Flawed

blemished, damaged, or imperfect in some way: flawed crystals. (of a person) having a weakness in character: a flawed hero.

Sacrifice

an act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy;

to surrender or give up, or permit injury or disadvantage to, for the sake of something or someone else;

an animal, person, or object offered in a sacrifice

The first two themes are generated using a random word generator. TAG is intentionally arbitrary to encourage outside-the-box thinking and wild combinations. The host picks the third theme and special bonus rules.
