Short about GameX:

The menacing ladybug

Brainstorming about Understanding board games project
Today my group and i brainstormed about the upcoming group project where we are to create a boardgame from scratch.
First of we threw out random aesthetic words just to get started, we ended up with words like feeling accomplished, lonlyness, fear, despiration, paranioa.
After that we took some of the woords and try to give them some contex in the form of gameplay and how the game would play.
We thought of you being desserted on a island with other players and you where […]
