For instance, clarifying the pesticide rules and that the order you lay down your cards on the player mat doesn\u2019t matter.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design my cards myself, by hand, instead of the placeholder AI generated art (most likely a stippling style, undecided if I would do color or not)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add names on the backs of the cards so that the stacks of cards are more easily identifiable or adding the name on the game board itself\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add more instructions on the cards themselves (like what happens with a bug card or pesticide card)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add point values onto the good bug cards so players don\u2019t just need to refer to the rules<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maybe have a way to protect certain plants\/flowers in your garden<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maybe rename the plant cards to be flower cards?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thoughts and Lessons Learned From Playtesting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I learned a lot from playtesting this game. I realized that there is a need to clarify and simplify some the rules more. I thought I had a pretty solid set of rules until it was playtested and the group didn\u2019t really understand it.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Along with that, I also learned that I really needed to distill some of the information for players since the game is complicated with the amount of actions you can take on each turn. This is why I created the action reminder cards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I thought that the players generally seemed to have a pretty good time playing this game. The player&#8217;s interaction with sabotaging others\u2019 gardens with bugs was a mechanic that players really seemed to like.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I would like to continue refining this game at some point, but I likely will do that in the future, but not too much more during this class. I think that it is a pretty solid game idea and I have a lot of the rules and mechanics worked out to the way I want them to be, but I feel as though this isn\u2019t the most original idea for a game. However, I think this game has a lot of potential for the design aspect of it, and I am really really into drawing bugs and plants lately.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2
