Board Game Analysis – Game 2: Carcassonne
Introduction
The first assignment in the course was to play three different board games and make an analysis of them. Get an understanding of their components, core systems, properties and player behaviours. The goal with the assignment was to get a basic idea of game analysis overall. But most importantly, to get an understanding of game systems in order to prevent us in the future from designing the same game systems multiple times by mistake.

Post 2 – Gears of War
This time it’s the Gears of War board game. First of all it is a real time shooter on a board game which itself is difficult to even imagine how it would work, at least it was for me.
It is a cooperative game best suitable for four players. You play as one of the characters from the video game Gears of War and you help each other win the levels by planning strategies and/or reviving players that are wounded.

Drawing, drawing and more drawing!
Tonight I was in a real mood for drawing so I sat down with my Bamboo tablet and started to sketch on a dragon and a “goatus” (a horse/goat/deamon cross). This is what turned out after about 9 hours of just drawing and listening to beautiful and dramatic WoW soundtrack.

Introduction: This is my second board game analysis for the Advanced Game Design class.
About the game: Pandemic is a co-op board game for 2-4 players, where you play as the member of a medical team that tries to find cures for four different diseases that are spreading around the world.

Board Game Analysis – Gears of War
This week we sat down and played Gears of War the board game developed by Fantasy Flight Games and licensed by Epic. Due to certain difficulties with schedule I was unable to play with the rest of my group. Fortunately the game can be played with just one person, but I managed to get a friend along to play as well (thanks Herman). I’d also like to point out that I’ve never played a Gears of War game nor […]

Late Crate-Creating log blog
Oh man, am I slow at this or what? (blog writing that is, I think I am doing okay at the actual assignments)
Anyway, more crates now and tomorrow I am going to the museum again to get more reference pictures since the ones I had were a bit inadequate.
Starting with the cartoony one.
I tried to keep it quite low poly as I worked on it mostly out of habit since my early blender days when I didn’t have any […]

SissyNeighbourhood
Yesterday, me and some of my sissyfight-team (which we created two weeks ago, I think) tested a new version of the game called SissyNeighbourhood. It added a lot of new cards and rules. During the beginning of the test, we felt that the new rules was utterly complicated and cluttered. Because of this, it is required to have a game master, forcing one player not to play the game and instead count all the players markers and tell the rules. […]
