Our own Board Game

The beginning of the second sem

The second semester at the college technically started a few months ago, but well due to a lot of reasons was not able to post anything about any of the stuff that has been happening since.

Anyways, at the start of the semester we attended a workshop for making board game or let's just say a game design workshop in general. skipping the details of the workshop here, we all were divided into three groups and at the end of the workshop each group had a basic board of their own. Now each group was given a task to work upon their respective games and make it into something meaningful that could be taken into further stages.

I landed up in a group of three, Udayan and Gaurav(don't worry you don't know them since I have'nt mentioned them anywhere else. To tell the truth initially both of them were zero help, since the initial idea was heavily biased to my thoughts they seemed least interested. The latter in this case was over exited and hence irritating. well due to some reason after the said 15 no group managed to come up with a proper prototype, but two of the boards were given a second chance, ours was one of them. The annoying one from my group was somehow removed an instead we got ourselves a new teammate Anand. Well this guy was no big help because he had no history with the game but it was certainly a relief as compared to that other guy.

By this time Udayan finally found interest in the game and came up with an interesting suggestion, now if I explain that here nobody would get a word. Let's just call it the interesting idea that brought the board to second stage, then with a whole lot of discussion among-st me him and Anand we came up with the new board. Well the board design was completely my thing. this new board kindoff picked up.
