Matician Rules

Setup

  • Shuffle the “Equation Symbols” deck and the “Numbers and Symbols” deck separately
  • Dealer deals 1 face-up “Equation Symbols” card to each player and 6 face-down “Numbers and Symbols” cards to each player
  • Each “Equation Symbols” card is placed in front of the player it was dealt to

Objective(s)

  • Create the equation with the highest solution with your given “Numbers and Symbols” cards
  • Attempt to lower the solution of other players’ equations with your “Numbers and Symbols” cards

Actions players take

  • Once cards are dealt and each player has their “Equation Symbols” card in front of them face-up, the round starts
  • First, players evaluate their hand and play the cards they believe will yield the highest possible solution. One card will go on one side of the symbol, and one will go on the other side, both face down (ex. 6 + 15)
  • After each player places their cards face down on each side of the symbol card, players have the option to add a card that they think will sabotage another player (if they have any in their hand)
  • Once all players have made their final moves, every player flips the cards in front of them over to reveal their numbers and the card another player may have placed

Ending the game (win, lose states)

  • The player who first reaches 3 points wins the game. 1 point is granted for each “highest solution”. The game can either end, or play can resume to determine the place of all other players

Example

  • A player could have the equation “4 + 13”, but after those cards are placed face down, another player could put a “-” face down in front of the 13 to make the equation equal -9 instead of 17

Barrel of Truth Version 2 Rules -Colin Kenny

All players are given a pen and piece of paper per round. On their turn, players draw a card and read it aloud to the group, as well as its category, either public or anonymous. If public, all players write their names in the corner of their paper. If anonymous, players should only write their answers. Once everyone is finished, they drop their papers into the barrel, the card drawer closes the lid, shakes it well, then removes the lid and reads all of the responses. Then, players are encouraged to discuss and have meaningful conversations regarding the topic and responses. Play continues clockwise. Play ends when players feel they know each other much better.

Game Rules for Art Heist- Colin Kenny

How to play Art Heist

For 5 players

SET UP

Place the five decks of cards (paintings around the room, front side facing outwards. At the start of the game each player is assigned a number from 1 to 5. Each player takes a voting card (ace through five) of every value other than theirs. This becomes relevant later.

Then each player draws a roll card. If you draw a king, you are a museum-goer, and are on the innocent team. If you draw the joker, you are the thief.

HOW TO PLAY

The thief must try to inconspicuously “steal” all five paintings by flipping them so that their back side or ‘imitation’ side is facing outward. This game is best played at a party or other crowded social gathering so that players can be easily distracted. If the thief steals all the paintings or 20 minutes has expired, they win!

The museum-goers’ goal is to catch the criminal in the act and get them voted out of the museum. At any point when someone spots a stolen painting (yes, the thief can self report) or someone catches the thief in the act, the timer is paused and all players must gather. They will have two minutes to discuss who they think the thief is. After two minutes have elapsed, the players will vote using their voting cards for the player they think is the thief.

If the voted out player was a museum goer, they are not out of the game and can still vote, but they cannot speak during the discussion periods anymore.

Week 1 Questions

  1. In your opinion what should every game have? Why do you like your favorite game?

In my opinion, I believe every game should have a little sabotage, it adds a lot of fun and quick thinking. My current favorite game has a lot of beautiful graphics and great fighting mechanics

List the games you’ve played and currently play.

    I have grown up playing the Sims, Minecraft, Elder Scrolls games, FNAF, Fallout, Dark Souls and currently I play the Elder Scrolls, Wukong, and Elden ring

    1. 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?

    Yes, there is a fight that you’re immediately put into that shows an amazing game play and storyline. Then you play through more story conflicts and gameplay to advance your leveling, and I currently haven’t finished it

    1. When coming up with ideas where do you find you start, with the metaphor or the mechanic? 

    I always start with a metaphor for my ideas

    1. Over the course of this semester, who would you like to collaborate with and why?

    There are so many people in my class that I’d be so happy to work with, I would like to work with someone who is stronger in art style and design than me. I feel more proficient in creating the concept of projects.

    Game: Fluxx

    1. What it fun?
      It was okay. It has potential to be a really fun game if I played with my friends or family or if every player knew how to play without confusion.
    2. What was the interaction?
      A lot of confusion; Fluxx is clearly a gimmick and mechanic-based game, and when those gimmicks and mechanics are confusing, it makes it difficult to play.
    3. How long did it take to play?
      About 30 minutes/the rest of class.
    4. Would you play again?
      I would try it again under different circumstances; I would learn the rules in-depth and focus on playing the game with my full attention.
