Dice Assignment
The assignment is to invent a new game that involves dice. We use dice in play to introduce randomness and chance. You can either invent something entirely new or modify an existing game to include dice. Refer specifically to the readings on chance and think about how you can integrate dice in a way that adds to the interest and challenge of the game and that does not needlessly complicate or pad it.
Details: Describe new game and/or list problems with the existing game that your improved design might try to solve.Think about the readings and lecture to date and how the parameters we have discussed might be used to improve the game. You might also find it useful to brainstorm in categories: Game Rules, Target Audience, Materials/Technology Used, Story, all five senses, etc. Example of excellent student work.
- Write the complete game rules using as little text as possible (so it is easy for players to understand the game)
- Test play it several times, modifying it each time
- Analyze the results of playtests and summarize your experience
- Include at least one photograph (or video) of someone playing your final game.
