Week 3

                                                                        Almost Home

This week evolved a lot of clean-up work for all of the group members. As we continued to make improvements on the cards our group worked very well together as a whole. I feel that everyone’s voice was heard and every idea was taken into consideration. These things were very important for keeping ideas going such as when we needed new ideas for our action cards, also called “Scarlet Cards”. Throughout the process we also met in the library one day outside of class to make work on the look of the playing cards. Little things about the cards such as size, look, shape, color, etc. were all taken into thought while making some crucial decisions in the design of our playing cards.

While most of our time was spent of the cards, a good portion of our period was used to make the finishing touches on the rules and objectives of the game. There were still many nuts and bolts that needed to be tightened before we could leave the library feeling accomplished. Various different scenarios needed to be considered to make sure there were no flaws and that our card game would run smoothly. One of biggest concerns was the possibility of our card game having replay value, making sure the game didn’t feel like the same thing was happening every time played and that the players would not get bored easily. Although our game is not completely finished, our group knows that we are close to the end of the race and only need a few more tweaks before our product is complete and ready to wrap up.
