For the past two weeks, me and a few other classmates have been working on an analog game prototype which we then presented in today's Game Design class.
We decided to make a turn based strategy game with a wild west theme, which we named Saloon Standoff. The final design document can be found here.
This was a great learning experience as being restricted to making an analog game forced us to be very smart with our design decisions. The main challenge with this project was to make our game mechanics simple, yet still engaging so that they could be easily understood by players but still resulted in an interesting game.
I came up with the initial idea for this project, wrote the design document, constructed the prototype, performed some play testing to refine our ideas and then delivered the final presentation.
Here are some photos taken during our live demonstration:
