At a point where Enemy 11 had been occupying my gaming thoughts for a few months, the idea of using the same cards for another game now presented to me a thought on collecting the run of 6 cards of the same color. My first design was to complete a floor using just one color with a base deck (1-6 and five colors). We had fun playing with the family but by the end found a stalemate situation arose when holding the cards another player needed. The second attempt was tried with a scoring system that involved the values of the cards with a factor according to completion. When trying it on my own I was fine with it. A play test with two other people found me feeling the scoring mechanism did not reflect the game effort and was instead much more of a tedious task than playing the game itself.
The theme of scrubs came to me for the game bringing me to a stronger effort to create the deck and find a better set of operating rules. After reworking the game rules with the base set of cards (90), plus 12 color match cards, I added the Lab coat special card and proceeded to draw the scrubs for the deck along with a lab coat. These came out better than expected for a first run so I had a couple of sets printed. It was my joy to try the game with a couple of my grandchildren using a goal of completing a floor. The lab coats basically stopped you from completing a floor and caused me to lose to both children as they excitedly drew all of the lab coats and placed them on my floors. Thus, they said that they liked the game.
Returning home I worked on adding a new idea to the game, the common floor, to give players more options for making progress on their turns. At first I thought that I had two different games going, but once I decided to combine the rules into one set, the game took shape. Multiple other play tests later the game was looking pretty good and everyone liked the Scrubs theme.
I want to mention one more play test took place at school during a lockdown in which I was stuck in my room with one student. I decided to pull out Scrubs and we played. The student invented a couple of new terms which I ended up going home and throwing into the rules. Instead of “assigning” scrubs to floors, they were dropped. The second choice is to “swap” a scrub with one in the hand. This made the play of a lab coat a “swap and drop” play. For now, it stays as my new term.

I had some really crazy ideas with this game. I realized the the theme could be anything or nothing. There is a store called Floorz. Why not have the cards be pieces of flooring and you put them on your floors. I made a workout deck with 5 different exercises so that you collect the 6 numbers of reps in your workout. I could even make it a family game, with pictures of each family member, and perhaps the pet as a wild card matching anyone. Or the pet does the stealing of a card. I kept wondering if this game is meant to be customized to whoever wanted it. I totally believe that this would work.
Then I had my craziest idea. I am actually not going to share my goal with this, but the new theme of the game is “Fishy Stations”. I had to purchase drawings of fish for the cards, but I needed a truck. I did not really like the cartoon trucks I saw, so decided to ask my grandson to draw a special model of truck, the Ford F150. My daughter sent me back a photo or the truck. I put it into my program and drew my own version of it.

A new deck was printed in Jan 2022 and final play testing should take place.
