This is something that I wrote up for part of one of the little "bedtime stories" the LDGE and I exchange every night when she asked me to write her something with a quick game in it, and I thought I'd post it for thoughts, debugging and possible use:
REQUIRED PIECES:
Two balloons
Two aircraft, roughly balanced to each other and to players' relative skill
OBJECTIVE:
Knock down the other player's balloon, and escape back off your edge of the map.
SPECIAL RULES:
If your plane is shot down, you're not out of the game--you respawn at your map-edge after two turns. If you drop the balloon and then get shot down, you have to "touch base" at the balloon's former location before you can start your "departure flight".
Any thoughts? Flames to /dev/null ... but "improvement" feedback would be appreciated, bear in mind this was originally about five minutes of quickly trying to think something up and get it shot off so my gal and I could get to the "fun stuff"... so my thinking may not have been up to my usual sociopathic cold precision.
