Board Game Analysis

I recently finished a assignment in which we had to work in groups and play three different board games that we then had to analyse and write a report on. We were doing this to better understand how systems work as well as training how to better analyze board games.

A very simple introduction to this great blog!

Hi,
My name is Simon Säfström and I am studying Gamedesign and Programming at Campus Gotland, Uppsala University. This blog is dedicated to games and other things that have anything to do with the subject. I’ll be showing the different types of projects I am working on during my studies as well as possibly even writing down my own thoughts. Hopefully this will help me grasp the bigger picture surrounding the world of games and anything else surrounding it.
For the people […]

Problem

Today we got yet another assignment which was to find a subject that might fit into a serious game. Then we should research it and find out its key issues/problems and then we should think how it could be implemented in a video game, and what the game could try and achieve. This is supposed to be written down in around 2-5 pages until friday, so I better find a subject… PRONTO.
My teacher sent me this as an example: http://www.darfurisdying.com/
