Boardgame Analysis – Drakborgen Legenden
Right, so this time I’m actually going to perform an analysis of the board game Drakborgen Legenden.
Basically this is a board game where you choose a character at the start of the game and venture into a castle that a dragon calls home, hoping to loot the most treasure, fight monsters and make it out in one piece before the sun sets.
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 […]

To gain as much understanding as possible of the game and its different play styles, we decided to play the game on three separate occasions. The game we chose was Drakborgen Legenden.

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 […]

Week 2. MDA.
The second week on Gotland has been inspiring in a whole new array of ways. With the introduction of the MDA -framework came a whole new way to look at games as both a designer and a consumer. Why do I enjoy this game, what does it offer me as a player that inspire this type of emotion in me? How can I use this emotional response as a designer?
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 […]

Advanced game design – playing boardgames n’ stuff
Hello!
Along with the 3D course we will also study Advanced Game Design for this semester. For starters in the game design course we had to play and analyse a board game of our own choice and its system. and for you who know me, I just picked one at random, and here we are with one of the most complex board games I have ever seen. hope you can follow along!!
Heres a fancy picture of how the box look.
