1-1 the players must get x number of card or an item to return to normal size

1-2 myself, friends, family

1-3 my roommates

2-1 connect 4 and uno

2-2 a game is anything you can play that has rules and is meant to be fun

2-3 can add in a randomization mechanic

3-1 a gate way game is any game that gets people interested in playing more games. The game I use is uno or connect 4

3-2 they share ease of learning, themed, luck, length, replay ability, originality, not complex

4 kingmaker’s noblesse oblige, battletech’s heat, set’s set-making, magic’s card tapping, battle cattle’s cow tipping rule, xxxenophile’s popping, bohnanza’s hand order rule, Mississippi queens paddlewheels, time’s up’s communication breakdown, dominion’s constant shuffling. For my own games it should be something that dramatically changes the way the game is played.

5 luck and strategy both are important for example in an RTS one strategy is to build a balanced army. The luck comes into play when first contact is made as you do not know what you will be facing. In that moment all of the preplanning you did could be undone.

1 Every game should have an appropriate level of complexity if it is a family friendly game the complexity should be different from a high adrenaline FPS. The complexity of the levels and the story is why I there my favorite.

3 The 3 act structure can be found in my favorite games. The length of the acts depends on the type of game but for the most part the first act is the shortest with the second and third acts being the longest. The first act usually ends after the set up in video games that is the reason for the game to start with physical games it ends after learning the rules.

4 When coming up with ideas I start with a basic mechanic concept like getting from one side to the other or how far you can throw a thing.

5 over this semester I would like to collaborate with Luke at some point because I know that he can come up with good ideas. I would also like work with some of the people that I don’t to get more opinions.
