Week 2

Today, we determined many different roles for each of the members in order to speed up the creation of the actual board game. Derek was assigned to make the movement cards, Phil was assigned to make the special effect cards, Aniesh was assigned to make a prototype of the board and Ray was assigned to work on the designs of the final product in terms of cards and board. We determined that the menace aspect of the game which would be the monkeys, would be implemented in the movement cards. Specifically, movement cards that involve the backwards movement of a player would be described as being attacked by monkeys. In addition, we were able to order the coin chips that we would be using for the board game and the actual chipboard material. We also were able to determine a general guideline for the amount of spaces that would make up each route in addition to how much the first place winner of the race would get (20,000 coins). In terms of the special effect cards, we were able to determine the four special effects that would exist in the game which were the speed boost, invisibility, mega coin, and triple coin. We delineated what these cards would do and how many of these cards we would make. If all goes as planned, we will have a working prototype by next week in addition to further ideas on the final product of our game.
