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
