For the second project of the semester, Rose, Cindy, Taylor and I will be working together to create an entertaining game called College Kid Problems. Theme and basic mechanics were the original ideas of Taylor, and after our first meeting we have developed more aspects of the game to continue the process of creation. We discussed things such as different card types, physical board game features and problems or obstacles we might have in development during our first meeting.

The game looks like it will be entertaining for a diverse group of players, and seems as though it will function in a smooth and organized manner. The one problem that our group faces at the present time is how to move the players along the board. We understand that we should try to avoid using dice for mobility, so we are struggling with alternative methods to have movement on the board. We fear that the methods we have presented in discussion may be too predictable or unfair; we'd like to have it stay random and have the players remain relatively equal. Ultimately, if we cannot think of a new idea to move the player, we will resort to making hundreds of question cards that the players would have to answer in order to progress in the game. This will be very time consuming and tedious, so we are still brainstorming new ideas.

Next week, we hope to resolve some of the major issues that we have come across and move forward with our development.
