More game changes...




In class today, we brought in a tentative paper game board and temporary pieces, to test out our game. When our classmates played our game, we came up with many changes and alterations that would need to be made. We realized that our game instructions might be a little too confusing and elaborate. In order to fix this, we came up with the following changes:


-Make the resources on the island different gems (rubies/sapphires/diamonds, etc.)

-When battling, there should be certain consequences/rewards if you win or lose the battle
  • We may not battle for food or resources anymore

  • We are thinking about using battling as a way to cross an opponent's path--if a player wins a battle, they will get their opponent's piece of territory, cross their path, and continue their turn. If a player loses a battle, they lose the rest of their turn as well
-We decided to get game pieces to resemble the resources/food.
  • Actual fish and shark pieces to put over those food spots

  • Pieces that resemble gems to place over the treasures on the island

-We may want less rolling in the game to make the game play shorter.

By next class, we hope to buy the pieces we need for our game, so we can test out the revisions that we have made.
* A tentative name for our game is Pirate Quest.
