Game Design Project #2 - Individual Game Design
Project
Using the iterative process of designing, playtesting and revising
a game system, generate a Game Design Document formalizing
and describing your game. Create a simple Physical Prototype
to demonstrate your game.
Project will be graded on the following criteria:
- formal elements
- dramatic elements
- rule presentation
- playtesting process
- overall design
Grades at the "A" level will require more than these
minimums. The more original the design, the better the grade.
