Card Game Proposal

     During the class, we discussed about different mechanisms that a card game should have to make it more interesting and fair. We played a card game named Camelot Legends, which consists of three different sets of cards: 3 place cards, character cards, and mission cards that allows you to earn victory points when you get enough value points that are written on different mission cards. On mission cards, they give special power once you get it.  For our group, we put 3 place cards spread out on the table, and started to pick character cards from the deck for every round, and each person got to put their character cards on one of the three different places for each round and tried to reach the points that are written on mission cards in order to get more victory points. Person who won this game used a strategy of putting all character cards on one place and eventually earned all the mission cards that were placed on that specific place.

     During the group discussion, we continued to figure out the right number of positive and negative cards to make the game more interesting. Also, in order to make the game more fair, we tried to come up with different ideas of special cards which has diverse activities that can overturn the game at any point. Each person came up with at least 2 different ideas, and we added stories for each special cards to follow the concept of the game. Furthermore, we assigned each person's job for the special cards, and we set up another day to meet up to make sure everyone has the same size and colors for the card design.
