Playing The Game (Posted by Kyle B)

So far we've been having a fun time playing our game. We are constantly making small changes to our game while playing it and cutting whatever doesn't work.

Game Concept - All players work together growing a plant that is essentially the game board. Player's gain points by locking down leaf chains. They do this by placing flowers at the end of a leaf. A flower takes 2 turns to bloom since it starts as only a bud. Thus giving the other players one turn to block that player from growing a flower. Once a flower has bloomed no more leaves may be placed on that same leaf, locking down the chain. Points are gained by counting each leaf from the flower back to the branch, each leaf is worth 1 pt. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. There are events that occur that can change the game state at the end of a cycle. Those we are currently testing and the next post will have more information about them.


The only thing we are worried about is the laser cutting. We are finding out this Thursday if we are able to use it or not. If we can then we are getting cuts done immediately to see how the pieces connect together. If we can't use it...we are still working on that. Only other option on the table is to take our prototype foam pieces and make them look as professional as we can.
