Vending machine game thoughts/ideas

A concept of a game-idea… Vending Machine Simulator. But not as in: drive around and manage your vending-machines. More like: the vending-machine is the game. I feel like there could be more to it.

• Maybe a card game, where a card is one product in one of the vending-tracks.

• You have to use a vending-machine “from hell” where you have to buy strategically for the product to not get stuck. It can’t fall down too far. Or your product gets stuck and you need to buy the one above to unlock it, when it falls down and frees the other one.

• There could be ridiculous products inside, like a broom or animals, monsters.

• The numbers could play a role, where you don’t see the numbers and have to find out what you number is.

• The challenge could be that your task is to buy a specific product, but ultimately it takes half an hour. You don’t have enough money, so you first buy something cheaper, then try to sell it yourself etc. a bit like a point&click-game.

• “The Venting Machine” however that might look
