Board Games Assignment WOOO!
Ever made a game? It’s fun and challenging, especially if you haven’t done it before.
We started concepting our board, our rules, what we wanted, etc.
I found that coming up with rules for a game on the spot, with the intricacies of game development, was more difficult than I anticipated.
A game needs the moments that makes it fun, exciting, thrilling and eventful. Not boring, repetative and exhausting. Having a ruleset to follow helped, but it was difficult to coordinate every step of the rules into the process.
At one point we went of in our own direction, discussing the path of the game. We centered on a religious theme, and called our game ‘Samsara’.
1st prototype.
Inspired by Ludo, the goal is to reach the center of the board, walking through each layer of life in order to reach enlightenment.
Each player starts in a cell, and have to roll to get out. You can only get to the next level, by going around once and up through your own ‘gate’.
The game also have cards corresponding to each level. The cards either give you a buff or a debuff, or rather good karma or bad karma. :D
Here was our final prototype. Room for improvement for sure.
Here’s our ruleset for the game.
