Game Design Challenge (10:00 - 1:00)

This is a challenge that involves people from the campus who come to our booth. We get them to design and play a quick game using various items supplied by the club.

1. Present the items and they make up a game with items of their choice. The game should be simple and playable within a few minutes.

The items could be picked randomly by a ballot. They pick say 3 items and then must make a game using it.

1. Test the game.
2. post mordem:
   • what was good about the game?
   • what could be improved? ask questions such as:
     • Did it have a clear win and lose condition?
     • Did it involve everyone?
     • How much input does the player(s) have? (is it just based on chance or is it skill).
     • Was it fun?

List of items

• Tennis balls
• D6 dice
• Chairs
• Rubber chicken

WE DECIDED NOT TO USE THESE IDEAS:

Example Idea 1:

An example could be that if they choose to play a stacking contest. The framework could be that you want to reach a certain height or have a certain amount of points at the end of 5 turns each.

• Both players are presented with the first item, a piece of blank paper. ask them: "What does this item do?" They choose 1 option.
  1. Is it used as a basic stack piece? (folded any way you choose to get the best height possible).
  2. or do you make it into a paper airplane to use as ammunition against the opponent's stack?
• Second item: Chairs
  1. Should there be a bonus for stacking the chair ontop of another stack piece?
  2. If the chairs are wheely chairs should there be a bonus if you can wheel your stack around and it doesn't fall over?
• Third item: A GDC club member
  1. Are they used as a stack piece?
  2. Or are they used as a slave to stack the pieces?
• Fourth item: Lego Blocks
  1. should they be used as stack pieces?
  2. or should you be able to drop a few lego pieces ontop of the opponents stack to see if it falls over.
• Then the players should decide on how you determine what piece to use each turn.
  1. should they be able to choose?
  2. should it be random? (1d6) varying between a stackable piece on a 1-5 and a special piece on a 6.
• Finally, once all rules have been decied, the game is played.

Example Idea 2:

Video Game Trivia held at a certain time of the day.
funny buzzers.

Example Idea 3:

RPG character who goes to different dungeons and gets magical items to slay a dragon and save the princess.
Dress people up as different people in the party.

You go to different dungeons.
