WHAT WE LEARNED.

We realized that, as seen on the lecture; The games are made of:

Objectives
Players
Procedures
Resources

At the beggining the game, it started very slow because nobody knew how to play, but as the time passed by, everybody started to understand and have fun.

We realized that if the understanding of the rules takes too much time the game can become boring and people wouldn't be interested on it. But if the rules are not that difficult to understand, then it becomes interesting and make people get hooked up.

Points made while playing and watching the game being played:

- Alot of confussion about rules/gameplay
- Takes a while for players to learn and understand the rules of the game
- Players can work together during the process of the game for an outcome
- It is a game of choice, (choose your own path)
- Players stratergise the use of thier cards
- The length of the game is determined by the cards the players are given
- 6 player game
- There are lots of rules to remember!
