Right, so this time I’m actually going to perform an analysis of the board game Drakborgen Legenden.

The character that you choose have five main stats, Strength, Agility, Armor, Mentality (I suppose it […]

For the course in Advanced Game Design, all of the students have been tasked with playing and analysing the systems of board games. In a group of six people, I’ve been analysing the game “Kill Doctor Lucky”. Kill Doctor Lucky is an inversion of the classic game “Clue” where the players are out to kill a man instead of looking for clues to solve who did it. You, and all of the other players, want to kill Doctor Lucky, but […]

Analysing a Boardgame #1
The second year of game design has started, and with it a new task to analyze board games.
The task consists of first playing the game and then deciding the objectively worst and best sides of the game. After that we are to decide the core game system, meaning the system that the entire game revolves around, and then defining the objects, functions and the properties, behavior and relationships that is this game.
And then we choose the subjectively most interesting system […]

Kill Doctor Lucky
Hello reader(s). I’m back from a long summer holiday! First blog post this term is going to be an analysis of Kill Doctor Lucky, a board game.
The best parts of Kill Doctor Lucky:
