Goals

●  Turn Based ○  Various Actions

per turn

●  Resource Management ○  8 main resources

scattered in the map ○  Gold and trust

(income and credibility)

●  Random Missions ○  Different strategic paths ○  Race and Competition

ALPHA VERSION ●  Tokens:

o  gold: printed o  trust: physical token

●  Regions were removed

●  Defined a clear travel path

●  More than one action per turn

●  Balancing game element

ALPHA TEST

●  One action per turn

●  Lots of action cards

●  Unequal starting point

●  Tokens to count trust and gold

●  World divided into regions

●  No defined travel path

1st PLAYTEST SESSION Main critics ●  Action card is not as powerful as

it should be.

●  Trust doesn’t seem to be valuable.

●  Number of gold player received double in the latter part of game make game unbalance.

●  Some missions are easy to fulfill.

Second version ●  Change some action cards and

remove others

●  Redesign game tokens

●  Remove some missions and change some details

●  Consider to have more options to use trust and gold

2nd PLAYTEST SESSION Main critics ●  Trust still not used effectively

●  Missions collisions resulted in dead ends

●  Specific combos of resources were too powerful

●  Some action cards were too powerful

Final Version ●  More dynamic missions by

using trust to discard and change them

●  Block is more expensive

●  Trust used for more offensive actions

FINAL PROTOTYPE

TARGET AUDIENCE Kinds of fun (from the MDA Pattern): ●  Challenge ●  Expression ●  Submission From a commercial perspective: ●  people older than 10 ●  may be used in companies, for educational purposes

What is original in our game ●  Real World Setting: World Economy, Politics and

Corruption ●  Non Linear movement in the map ●  Different player goals but paths collide ●  Action Cards intervene unexpectedly in players strategies

●  Monopoly → non predefined path, predefined missions

●  Risk → pawn, “free” movements on the map ●  Pandemic → non cooperative

COMPETITORS

CONCLUSION What we should focus on in further steps: ●  Corruption

o  Maybe make it more obvious

●  Balance o  Gold/trust o  Missions/actions

●  Maybe complexify the gameplay o  Missions could be more complex, but it would affect the timing o  Change the number of missions
