Prototype 1 - Pirate Pride and Pirate Prejudice

Pirate Pride and Pirate Prejudice

*This is our lovely game board*

Goal:

• First team to complete 6 event cards wins.

Rules:

• This game is 2 or 4 players, If 4 players are playing then the game is 2v2.

• Players move straightforward on the game board and cannot change direction at intersections.

• Players take turns rolling 2 dice, and moving the appropriate spaces.

• If the player rolls doubles on the dice, then an opportunity card is drawn and activated.

How to play:

• At all times there are 3 open events. At the beginning of the game draw and lay out 3 event cards. These cards are open to be completed by any player.
• A player can complete an event if they are holding all of the character cards associated with an open event. 

• Players can buy character cards by landing on the red "Post office" square, and paying the amount listed on the character card they want to buy.

• When a player wants to buy a character, they draw 5 character cards from the pile, and can choose to buy any from the 5 they drew.

• Players can buy however many character they can afford. After the player is done choosing which characters to buy, the remaining characters get shuffled back into the pile.

• After a player buys a character card, they are holding that card for 5 turns, after 5 turns, the player can choose to pay the amount on the card a second time to keep the card in their hand for another 5 turns, otherwise the character card goes back to the pile

• When a player completes an event, the event card they completed is removed from the game and they get 1 event point. 6 event points are needed to win. The other 2 event cards are shuffled back into the event card pile, and 3 new events are drawn and open to be completed.

• After a player completes an event, all character cards that each player is holding are shuffled back into the character pile.

Game Tiles:

• If a player lands on yellow coin tile, the player gets 2 coins.

• If a player lands on the green tile on each corner, they get to draw and play an opportunity card.

• If a player lands on the red tile, they can choose to buy any of 5 character cards that are temporarily drawn. After they choose the characters to buy, the other cards are shuffled back into the pile.

For this game we put so many effort and time in to it to make it fun and balance.

Such as: we cut character piece, and designed all the card front and back.

We changed the game board so many times to get this finished game board and make it balance for every player to play.

The challenge of making this game is to put pirates into the game, we tried many idea for the pirates to make them fun to play and related to the "Pride and Prejudice". First of all, we tried to make player to collect parts such as wood, and trade it to each other to finish some goal, the goals of Darcy and Elizabeth are marry to each other to win, pirates are collect part to fix their broken boat.

When we almost finish this, then we find out that we have to make the pirate more reasonable and have more actions with Darcy and Elizabeth, so we decide to change to a new idea.

Finally, we got this "Pirate Pride and Pirate Prejudice". Pirates are more reasonable, similar goals and much more actions with Darcy and Elizabeth. Darcy and Elizabeth's goal still the same to get married, the pirates are now female and male, they fall in love with Darcy and Elizabeth, so the pirates team up and try to break Darcy and Elizabeth's relationship.

To relate this game to the book, we find many events in the book to make event cards for players to finish by collecting character cards. With the requirement of characters, players have to go collect the characters. 

To make this game fun, we add opportunity cards. This is the chance to get cards from other players, or get coins, but be careful of the opportunity, not all opportunity are good, we also made some opportunity card that can make you lose coins to get the randomness of the game.

Over all, I really like our game, not just because we put so many effort to it, it is a really interesting to play, so remember to come to play our game.
