Board Game: Beginning to design:

Today was a really good day, and it seems as if we've finally started to get somewhere with the project. As well as this it feels as if the group has finally started to gell together. The main outline of today was to get  the basic principles for our game down, by this I mean how the game would be played and the games core mechanics. With this all down, we could then go off and design our own versions of the game from a basic game board.

My design for the 'Build It Up' concept was based around building a rocket. The main draw of the game being the ability to launch your rocket at an opponents rocket once you have completed yours, causing you opponent to have to rebuild their rocket from scratch. I really like this idea, but it needs a bit more fleshing out so that it has a bit more depth. I also need to work out how the how thing would be built, and if its possible for us to build it ourselves. I think also the hardest part is going to be finding a way to actually launch the rocket in a way that wont be a health risk.

Next Step: Research:

From here I need to work out the mechanics of the rocket, I need to find a way to launch the rocket and also need to find a material to build the rocket from which will be tactile enough for people to use but also light enough to be launched.
