Board Game Progress Report (Serious Games) – 20131027

We are now nearing the end of the final assignment in the Serious Games course; on monday we are going to handle the game in as well as the rules and a individual report.

This week, our group sat down and polished the numbers that we had in our game, as the game’s mechanics were finished but the numbers for everything could use some polish. We also made it so that the player in the game can now discard two tool cards during a round in order to draw a new card. This was added so that the player wasn’t completely screwed if he ended up getting tool cards that he would not have any use for. Other than that, we made the cards in the game look a bit more nicer, even though they doesn’t have fancy graphics.

Other than that, we now have more concert explanations on the tool cards to as of why the tool cards works against diseases. The information for this was mostly gathered through Socialsyrelsen (Sweden’s Social Board) and 1177.se (A site containing information about sicknesses, diseases, health and the such), as having trustworthy sources for a Serious Game is important.

But there isn’t really all that much more to say about the game, it is now finished and we are going to hand it in tomorrow.
