Week 13 - Playtesting!

This week was all about the playtesting. We decided to change around the different distributions of cards. Originally we had 15 Salvage types, with 2 of each type. We've now changed it up so that there are 5 cards that are rarer than the others.

• Flippers
• Life Saver
• Bottle of Rum
• Oxygen Tank
• Spare Change

There are 2 of each of these cards. The other 10 cards there 3 of each.

We did this because we wanted to balance out the amount of uses each salvage cards has. Before lots of Salvage cards were used 4-7 times while some of them were only used 1-2 times. It should now be balanced.

Week 12 - Paper Card Creation

This week we "actually" created the different cards. It was mainly a lot of writing out of the different Salvage, Encounter and Weather cards.

After creating the different cards, we were able to complete our first playtesting session! We changed a few things but we definitely need to playtest some more.

Week 11 - Card Creation

This week I was back in class! We started creating the paper prototype for our game today. I focused on primarily creating as many Salvage and Encounter cards as I could. I think some of the cards I made were very creative and would give a nice flavour and humour to the game.

I personally came up with Davy Jones, The Kraken, and Loch Ness Monster cards. I really think they are fun cards to get.
