Prototype2 - Bright Night

Bright Night

This game is about the painting "Starry Night" by Van Gogh, the board game conveys the emotions, themes, and atmosphere of the painting.

Player:

      2-4; Ages 13 and up for artistic gamers and aspiring artists.

Play time:

      2-8 minutes.

Components:

      1 dice, 140 brightness pieces included, 9 star pieces, 4 player pieces, 1 game board.

Setup Phase:

• Players first decide on if they are playing competitive or co-operative game play.

• Each player starts with 15 brightness pieces.

• Each of the 9 loose stars are placed randomly (or however the player decides) on tiles around the map.

• Each player starts in a corner of the map.

• No talking or communicating during the game. (unless explaining rules)

Objective:

Players can choose to play with either goal:

• Co-op: The goal is for all the players to lose their brightness with in 2 turn of each other, after collecting all of the loose stars on the board.

• Competitive: The goal is to have the most brightness after all the stars are collected. Players leave a trail of brightness pieces as they move along paths.

Game Turns:

• Players roll a dice to decide how much they can move.

• Players can move horizontally, vertically or a combination of both any amount of times in 1 turn (Moving the number of spaces of their roll as the max, can move less than the rolled number).

• Each time a player moves a square, depending on the tile type they move over, the player loses brightness accordingly (Player needs to move at least 1 space per turn).

• There are 3 tile types: Darkest, dim and bright. They can be seen as the brightness of each tile on the game board (Bright tile is the one that is glowing on each side of the tile).

• Players lose 3 brightness if they move over on to the darkest tile, 2 brightness if they move over a dim tile and 1 brightness if they move over to the lightest tile (has a light glow).

• Player cannot pass over or occupy the same square as another player.

• When a player collects a loose star on the board, it is removed and that player gains 7 brightness + their dice roll (Ex. a player rolls a 4 and moves to the tile with the star, that player gain 7 + 4 brightness which is 11).

• In competitive mode, players only need to spend 1 brightness to move a tile, regardless of the tile type. Each square the player moves they must leave behind a brightness piece. If a player moves on a path that already has a brightness piece on it, they don't need to put their own brightness down.

Ending Condition:

In co-operative mode, all stars need to be collected for the players to win. After the stars are collected, all players need to lose all of their brightness within 2 turns of the first person to lose their brightness.  All players win if these criteria are met.

In competitive mode, the game ends as soon as the last star is taken, players count their brightness pieces and the player with the most wins.

A common strategy for co-op is for players with higher brightness than others to move around and aim for darker tiles, so they lose brightness faster to even out the balance in brightness levels towards other players. Since player’s aren't allowed to communicate during the game, they need to figure out some way to even out how distribute all the loose stars on the map evenly.

HomeWork 5 - Lair's Dice

Lair's Dice

Players: 2 to ∞

Objective: to get all other player lose

Rules we changed:

• All dices have to be hide even to yourself.

• One always have to be one not a wild number.

• Numbers have to go up, cannot be equal; dice value can be equal or higher. Both values cannot be lower than the last player.

• If you say liar and you are wrong, you have to give that player one of your dice. when a player is eliminated all of their dice are also removed from the game, regardless of who is holding them.

• If anyone made 3 time wrong call-outs or had been catch as a liar for 3 times will eliminated from the game.

Rules that we changed and added are cause positive feedback.

When one is ways one, it will short the game time, the chance of getting more number are low, but make players hard to catch the lair.

All dices are hidden so everyone have to take the risk to call out numbers and dice values, also have to guess who is the real "lair", this will turn the game to total lucky based game.

When numbers have to go up, players can framed the player after him/her by call out a big number and a dice value of 6 because the biggest dice value is 6, so the next player have to raise the number.

The last two rules make players lose the game fast, so players have lower number of dice may have a chance to win faster by luck, or lose fast and also take other players out of the game too.

After all the changes the game is still fun but game time is much faster than before. At the same time, when play this game players have to have be really lucky or your opponents really unlucky.

• Fygar player start with only one life point, and choose a corner to start the game.

• Dig Dug start with 3 life points in total, so player have 2 more extra resurrection time (After Dig Dug die, just resurrection at the center of the map. Fygar resurrection at the corner where he/she chooses before the game started).

• First of all, place 4 dust cards at each corner, and then shuffle all Dust card, Stone card and Pooka card together.

• Place all cards mixed with Dust card, Pooka cards, and Stone cards face down on the table to make a 10x11 rectangle and only leave "two cards size" blank at the middle of the rectangle (which located at 6 row, column 5 and 6). After placed all four dust card at each corner, randomly place other cards and don't forget to leave two empty space in the middle.

• Dig Dug player and Fygar player roll a 6 side dice to move. (If rolled 3, which means player need to remove 3 Dust cards one by one while player moving, and for each turn, player can only change direction once). player only allowed moving horizontally or vertically (when change direction, players can choose to go left, right or turn back).

• If Dig Dug player gets to a stone, player have to take three cards out (by player's choose) and put on the stone for 3 turns. Player will get the cards bake after 3 turn. When there are three card on the stone, Fygar player can go to any side of that stone to get the cards. Player can wandering around near the stone try to block dragon to get the card. Stone card will be removed afterward.

• Two players have to pick 5 battle cards out and put in face down, flip a card together one by one, in order to see who wins the round. (Water>defeat>Fire>defeat>Wind>defeat>Earth>defeat>Water>defeat>Fire>......).

• Players who wins the first round wins (5 cards a round), if there is a draw, use the rest of the card to play another round, each round is maximum of 5 cards (can be less such as 2-card-round or 3, depends on who have the lowest hand size).

this is what the game board looks like 

This game is based on the classic game "Dig Dug", we try to use every element that is in the game to make this card game, such as Dig Dug starts at middle and digging dust, we use dust cards to make a game board and player start at the middle while moving player need to remove the dust in front of him/her.

We made the Pooka the balloon looking monster hide in the dust, so Pooka don't have to move and when player reach Pooka they will start a battle using battle cards like a RPG game. When Pooka and Dig Dug start the battle, Fygar will use his card fight with Dig Dug as Pooka.

When Fygar find Pooka first Fygar will "Eat" Pooka to get one life point.

This is a really fast game for 2 player. Dig Dug player need to kill all monsters- Pooka and Fygar, to win the game. Fygar need to kill Dig Dug to win, but Fygar only start with one life, so Fygar may need to get eat some pooka first, or if the player trust his/her luck, can just go fight with Dig Dug.

I like the battle which I suggest when develop this game, this will let players have more interactive and randomness of the game, it's like playing rock-paper-scissors but with cards and 4 elements.

  We made the game that player have to land on the library square to select the research project, so player can get more coins to plan how to use them and get some items first then decide which project to do later. Players can also get the project that other players wants to do first so other players cannot do this project anymore.

 Research project card doesn't doesn't have price on it, so players don't know how much is the project cost in total, they have to go to each store to see the items' price and get them for research project that the player doing.
