Pirates vs. Gods Rules v2 (with River)

Set Up

Shuffle each deck separately. Each player will choose either the pirate deck or the god deck.

Card Anatomy

card values 1-6

Play

Each player will reveal the first card on top of their deck. Winner is determined by element.

  • A fire (red flame) card will beat an earth (green diamond) card.
  • An earth (green diamond) card will beat an air (white swirls) card.
  • An air (white swirls) card will beat a water (blue droplet) card.
  • A water (blue droplet) card will be a fire (red flame) card.

If two elements are pulled that are not listed above (fire vs. air, water vs. earth), the winner of the round is determined by the higher point value.

If element and point value are the same, draw and reveal a second card.

If you win the round, your card is shuffled back into your deck. If you lose the round, your card is set to the side and removed from play.

If you had to draw a second card and you win based on that second card, you get to shuffle both back into your deck. If you lose based on the second card, both of your cards are removed from play.

Winning the Game

You win when you have exhausted your opponent’s deck.

Questions 3

1 game designers make the game as game developers make the game better.

1-1 what is done in the development process is an initial test, looking at the rules, blind play testing, and title/theme

2 number of components and there complexity, cost

2-1 the play should feel achieved

2-2 let them play the whole game, no king making, don’t reward the leader, no deceleration, the ability to influence others, don’t force a reverse

3 no intermediary words, use real words, no unnecessary work, add some theme, readable text, all rules must be written, keep writing to the point, keep text uniform, play test the rules

4 testers for my game have been those in class and roommates

4-1 the people that should test my game is a mix of those who have tested a previous version and those who have not played at all. When it comes to any new game prototypes everyone in the class is able to give some kind of useful information after a test.
