Board Games

The board games everyone presented last class were pretty awesome. I am so impressed with all the creativity that went into all of them. Javon and Hannah's was definitely very professional-looking. I thought the game was fun, too, but I think maybe after five turns of not getting off "Go," someone who is not dice-rolling-inclined should be allowed to get a gimme and start going. ;) Not that any of us were in that situation...heh. Nuria and Lily's board game was pretty awesome, too. I loved the paper dolls--they looked like they came off a designer's idea page. My little sister Hannah loves glitter, fashion, paper dolls, etc, so she would have had a blast if she could have played that game. The "Galactic Chess" (what was it called?) game was pretty neat, too. That's a game my little brother would have liked to play. He's the only one who ever plays chess with me. None of my other siblings have the patience. The best for using what they already had and working from that, though, was the Etch-A-Sketch-It game. I didn't get a chance to play it in class, but it looked like a bunch of fun. Of course, I was an Etch-A-Sketch fiend when I was a kid, so maybe that just comes from nostalgia. At any rate, it was pretty darn cool.

Evelina's and my board game didn't turn out quite the way we planned, but that was mostly because we ran out of time. We wanted to make 30 trivia cards and 30 opportunity cards, but we only wound up with 6 trivia cards. We made the goal for opportunity cards, though. The money amounts were a bit skewed. As a prototype, it turned out nicely, though. I was quite proud of my little Sculpey graduation cap and messenger bag. :)
