Week 2

Starting From Where We Left Off

We started off our group meeting, again going over what we decided the rules were from the last class. As we started going over the rules, all of the members of our team questioned most of the rules. As we started throwing new and old ideas into conversation, we all realized that some of the rules did not make sense or were not fair to some players. For example, we had one person each turn that would not get any points for that turn. We put that problem aside while we kept throwing ideas into the circle. When we came back to the idea, one of the members of the team, Justin had the idea that solved the problem and allowed everyone to have a chance to get points that turn. As our team kept contributing ideas and decided which ones worked and which ones didn't we decided to approach things in a different way. Our team decided to play the game and see how it goes. We took blank pieces of paper and ripped them up in a lot of pieces. We made simply cards out of the paper and started to simulate the game. After a couple rounds, we decided to add some more aspects to the game, to give a player the opportunity of strategy rather than it being simply based on luck. We added points to different cards, and added a whole aspect of building campuses up from the building cards that we win during gameplay. We also added more Scarlet Cards (Action Cards) that reflect more onto our rules. Last to make the card proposals for class, we decided to make the three different types of cards on photoshop so that we could present them in class. We also decided to type up the rules for our game as we decided in our last meeting. 

So far, our team has worked very well together. We have come up with some really great ideas, and are really excited to make this game. Not only is it just going to be our game that we made, but it also represents the university that we go to, making it more of an exciting project.
