Cat Rush- Final Game Documentation

My game is similar to Pokémon, but if it were all cats. The goal is to attack other players and be the last cat standing. It is a mix of luck and skill to use powerups to your advantage and heal using the limited supply of food available. In version 2 of my game, I made the rules a lot more clear surrounding each character’s abilities and how the powerups work. Along with this, I also cut the amount of food cards in half. The first playtest showed me that I was too unclear on some aspects, such as being able to use the base attack by itself. The most helpful comments were about the food supply as well as questions surrounding some of the rules. For version 3, I would make everything into whole numbers and attempt to fix the health sliders again. Along with this, I would add different colored backs for the character and heart cards to keep them better separated from the deck.

Version 2:

Version 1 (I didn’t take photographs of it last week, so this is it set up without the old rule sheet.)

Game Test Pirates

  • A bit of a learning curve for people who haven’t played DND before
  • Less character stats would mitigate the overwhelmingness of being thrown into a DND game with no experience
  • The boss at the end definitely needs less health. It took forever to even try and get its health down
  • Maybe a sheet that includes a short explanation of DND and a sort explanation of how the game is supposed to play out

Game Test Battle of the Suits

  • Unclear if aces count as 1 or 11
  • It is a LOT to keep track of, so a system to have your health/shields tracked would be easier
  • We went through the deck twice and no one won, so maybe a cap on how many times you can go through the deck
  • Clearer rules would benefit player experience

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.

Rules for Barrel of Truth (Version 1)- Colin Kenny

Each player is given a Sharpie or any type of pen, but all of them must be identical. Each round, the host (me) hands each player a slip of paper and asks them to respond to a question or prompt pertaining to the other players. It can be in the form of an assumption, and opinion, a secret, etc. No direction is given whether the responses SHOULD be positive or negative. Some rounds will require players to write their own names on their slips along with their answers, other round they must be completely anonymous. After every player has answered, they will put their slip in the barrel, the barrel is closed and mixed, and each answer is read aloud by the host. The players are suggested to share thoughts and feelings of the responses. Once everyone is ready, the next round begins. The game ends whenever the players either hate each other or get bored.
