The character that you choose have five main stats, Strength, Agility, Armor, Mentality (I suppose it […]

Board Game Analysis: Kill Doctor Lucky

For the course in Advanced Game Design, all of the students have been tasked with playing and analysing the systems of board games. In a group of six people, I’ve been analysing the game “Kill Doctor Lucky”. Kill Doctor Lucky is an inversion of the classic game “Clue” where the players are out to kill a man instead of looking for clues to solve who did it. You, and all of the other players, want to kill Doctor Lucky, but […]

A board game analysis

This blog post is going to be about an assignment in the course Advanced Game design.
 
The class is split up in groups for when we do assignments and this is about when we play and analyze a board game. The assignment is to play a board game 3 times and analyze it. We do this to better understand how the game system works and how it is built and what components it is built with. This helps us understand the […]

Kill Doctor Lucky

Hello reader(s). I’m back from a long summer holiday! First blog post this term is going to be an analysis of Kill Doctor Lucky, a board game.
The best parts of Kill Doctor Lucky:
My Favorite part of Kill Doctor Lucky was the line of sight aspect to the game, which I thought was pretty unique for a board game. I had never earlier heard of a board game with line of sight in it. Line of sight is not only one […]

If I want to my players to enjoy fellowship fun in […]

Game System Analysis 1 – DUST

Intro
The first week of our current game design course, Advanced Game Design, we were tasked with playing a board game of our choice and, once played a minimum of 3 sessions, analyse it and figure out it’s underlying game system. We chose, without reading anything about it prior, a game called DUST.
DUST is a competitive strategy game played on a map of the earth. The map has connected, circled land or sea areas scattered over it. Some of these areas […]
