- Based on the website https://www.whatbeatsrock.com, What Beats Rock: The Home Game. Players take turns naming an item that could “beat” the previous item (or a rock if you’re first) and the other players act as judges to decide if their item would “beat” the previous item.
- Dice Stack. A deck of cards tells the players a required dice roll and a required formation to stack the dice once they are rolled. Player who does it first gets a point.
- SHOE-ffleboard, A large twister-like mat/board is set up and players take turns throwing either their own shoes or smaller shoe item onto it for points.
- Players take turns placing cards from a standard deck in a pile while naming the card placed before them. If they mess up, they take the pile. First to run out of cards wins.
- For a while I’ve wondered if I can host a game of Survivor on campus for a club or a Rmu TV project. People would get broken into teams, each round a team would win Immunity and the losing team would have to vote someone out. Then everyone gets split up individually, voting continues, etc. until s jury votes for the winner.
Flux Questions
Was it fun? Kind of! It was hard to catch on to all of the new rules, made it a slow play
Interactive? Yes! There was a lot of interaction from trading cards to playing actions just for yourself.
Was it easy to learn? No, I think the concept was easy to learn but the new rules took a minute to catch on to.
Re-Playability? Yes! Easy to replay
Brayden Bauer-Game Design 1
- In your opinion what should every game have? Why do you like your favorite game? In my opinion every game needs an end goal. The reason I love halo is because of the storyline and the way the story ends. Do it well enough and the designer is set to make a sequel to that story.
- List the games you’ve played and currently play. Halo ,call of duty, Mario kart, titanfall, Overwatch,battlefield,sims, animal crossing, legend of Zelda, Destiny, NHL, FIFA, nba, GTA, LEGO games, smash brothers, red dead redemption, Star Wars battlefront, rainbow six siege, csgo, valorant, and many more that I don’t want to write down
- Can you apply the three act structure to your favorite game? What is it’s pacing and how long do you find yourself in each act? I would say yes if you count the whole series. The pacing is slow until you meet the antagonist
- When coming up with ideas where do you find you start, with the metaphor or the mechanic? I say the mechanics because without the mechanics you can’t make the game in general.
- Over the course of this semester, who would you like to collaborate with and why? Carson because I want to be the house in gambling our points

Pirates vs. Gods Rules v2 (with River)
Set Up
Shuffle each deck separately. Each player will choose either the pirate deck or the god deck.
Card Anatomy
card values 1-6
Play
Each player will reveal the first card on top of their deck. Winner is determined by element.
- A fire (red flame) card will beat an earth (green diamond) card.
- An earth (green diamond) card will beat an air (white swirls) card.
- An air (white swirls) card will beat a water (blue droplet) card.
- A water (blue droplet) card will be a fire (red flame) card.
If two elements are pulled that are not listed above (fire vs. air, water vs. earth), the winner of the round is determined by the higher point value.
If element and point value are the same, draw and reveal a second card.
If you win the round, your card is shuffled back into your deck. If you lose the round, your card is set to the side and removed from play.
If you had to draw a second card and you win based on that second card, you get to shuffle both back into your deck. If you lose based on the second card, both of your cards are removed from play.
Winning the Game
You win when you have exhausted your opponent’s deck.

2-1 the play should feel achieved
2-2 let them play the whole game, no king making, don’t reward the leader, no deceleration, the ability to influence others, don’t force a reverse
3 no intermediary words, use real words, no unnecessary work, add some theme, readable text, all rules must be written, keep writing to the point, keep text uniform, play test the rules
4 testers for my game have been those in class and roommates
4-1 the people that should test my game is a mix of those who have tested a previous version and those who have not played at all. When it comes to any new game prototypes everyone in the class is able to give some kind of useful information after a test.
