Week 11 - Assignment 2 Game Design Progress

A view of the ship cards


The latest iteration of the game board


Progress! As can be seen from the above pictures we re-worked the design of the game board which Russell then kindly drew up neatly with a ruler. Tom did some more work on game and ship cards whilst I worked on the concept document online and tried to determine the amount of cards of each type and a list of current game rules etc.

We then proceeded to perform a couple of more play-through's of the game in it's current state to determine what other tweaks may need to take place. 

Colin was kindly able to provide some of his time a sat through a play through of the game and provided some invaluable insight from someone external to the development team. It was concluded that tokens would be preferable to agent cards when placed as a trap on the board. It was also concluded that we should create a cheat sheet indicating some very basic game rules and give them to first time player's rather than let a player discover the game without any prior knowledge.
