When first hearing about project 2 I was looking forward to making something of my own. I am a big gamer myself so given the opportunity to make something of my own to share with everyone else was something to look forward too. After my research and brainstorming was complete I still wasn't pleased with my outcome of idea's. After thinking long and hard about what I like about games I came to the conclusion that I love board games and thats where I would start. Charades is another game that I find is interactive as well as fun. By combining the two I was able to construct a game that everyone would enjoy.
"Say it Right" is an interactive board game that requires both skill and imagination. Teams of two work together to successfully reach level 4 on the board by acting out a charade using the noun, verb, and adverb cards collected throughout the board.
4-8 players
Ages: 15+
Equipment
-Game Board -1 Dice -4 Colored tokens
-Noun Cards -Verb Cards -Adverb Cards
-Timer
Set-Up
1. Divide into teams of two.
2. Each team will pick a colored token to represent them on the game board. Each team will start on a different corner of the board depending on its color. Example- Team Red will start on the Red corner.
3. Each player rolls the dice. The player to roll the highest is the first to play. (If two or more players roll the same number than they both re-roll)
Rules
1. The team that rolled the highest number will play first. One player rolls the dice and moves their token the same number of squares that are face up on the dice. The player has the option to move in either direction. When it is the teams turn again the other team member will roll.
2. The objective for the team is to collect the three different cards available on the board (verb, adverb, and noun). A team can only have 1 of each card at any given time.
3. The first player in a team to land on a card space will be designated as the “keeper”. The keeper has to collect 1 verb, 1 adverb and 1 noun card (these cards will be kept secret from their partner as well as other players). When all three cards are collected, the player will form a sentence (scene) using the words displayed on the cards.
4. The keeper has 3 minutes to act out the scene to their partner in charade style. If their partner answers the phrase correctly then the team will advance to the next level on the board. If the partner does not answer the phrase correctly the team will not advance to the next level and the cards will be discarded.
4. Each team has to be strategic as to where they will move their tokens because there are snakes and ladders scattered throughout the board. Snakes will move a team down a level (or two) and ladders will take a team up a level. If a team is to come in contact with either the snake or the ladder they will move to the new level on the board that they are taken too. They will hold onto the cards that they have collected thus far and continue with the game.
5. The first team to reach level 4 will be declared the winner.
Levels
Level 1-Red
Level 2- Orange
Level 3- Yellow
Level 4- Blue
Say it Right is a great game for interacting with others. Not only are there a ton of laughs from both the phrases made and the words used, but as well as the wacky ways of portraying them. When testing out my game I wanted to use a variety of ages as testers. Unfortunately I was not able to get someone as young as 15 to try it out but I was able to get someone who was 19 (still a teen). The game was a success but most of the testers felt that some of the words were very difficult to portray as well as saying them correctly. The game was played a number of times and there were many different outcomes. Some of the games went on for a long time where as others did not. In conclusion I was very pleased with the outcome of my game and learned of many different ways I could improve on it. Furthermore, from the testing I realized that my game could be altered to work for any demographic audience which I found very pleasing.
