The final product of our board game
is almost due, so this week the group worked on finishing toches and just
fixing the little problems in order to make the game run smoother. We play tested with our other classmates and
found their suggestions to be very helpful.
We got advice on how to change some of the action cards and after making
these changes the game ran a lot smoother. Our group also found Professor Parks
idea of creating a certain amount of peeks each unit needs, to be extremely
helpful. The game had finished way too fast the first time we played it, so
each unit needing peeks definitely slowed the game down. The group also worked
on perfecting the directions and the reference card. They both needed some
changes due to the new rules we created. Another change we made was making
money left over at the end of the game be counted as victory points. Many of
our peers requested that this change be made and when my group thought about
this proposal, it made perfect sense to us as well. The group did have some
trouble agreeing on how to fairly convert the money into victory points, but
after a long discussion we came to an agreement.
The group also faced some minor
difficulties with getting the game all ready to be submitted. One issue we are still facing is how we are
going to fit our large game board into a box.
We also faced some trouble when trying to get the cards printed double
sided. Luckily we did solve this problem by cutting the cards out and gluing
the backs on before lamenation. Overall, we worked really well together and I think
the final game turned our great.
