3/23/2018 0 Comments Card Game DevelopmentChance of Blood is a fun & strategic card game that allows players to engage with socio political ideologies and provides them with a better fundamental understanding of politics in a historical context. The goal in Chance of Blood is for the player to amass more influence for their ideology than their opponents. Cards will have an effect or point value, and the player may choose to play the card on their self or an opponent. In Chance of Blood, players will utilize cards that mimic the values summarized in their ideology. The game includes 4 ideologies: Capitalism, Communism, Fascism, and Monarchy. Each ideology has different ideals, and those ideals are manifested through a unique array of mechanics. Historical context for the card is provided both in a short summary of the card, and in a booklet that contains larger passages related to each card.
The audience for our game is college educated men and women who are interested in history. The game is intended to be realistic, educational, and fair. Chance of Blood could be used to teach socio-political concepts in an engaging way, or help students to study. It can be played casually or competitively, and is perfect for families and educators. Developing this game has been an interesting experience. There are many things I found more challenging than I initially thought they would be. Things like designing engaging mechanics, implementing feedback, and designing cards have been difficult. There has been much tweaking involved, and due to the size of our group, we sometimes have clashing opinions on how to approach the solution to certain problems. The process as a whole has been long, and I have come to realize why it takes extended periods of time to make a game. Working on this game has enabled me utilize some of the skills I have learned this year. It has also challenged me to improve my skills with software like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Designing the artistic elements for this game has been a journey all in itself, but overall I am happy with the concepts we have produced.
