Activity 3

1st Game: Chess

-Originality

This game was created nearly 1500 years ago and I have not played any game like it. some people say checkers is like it but I see almost no resemblance.

-Freshness and Replayability:

Its always new experience every time. When you play there is always new moves that you can try. You can always play with different people to change the game. all people are different when playing games and because of that you can change the game and you can adjust your style.

-Surprise:

There are millions of different moves and scenarios that can surprise you. An example of this is when I played a new player and before I knew it he beat me. There is always a chance of you losing and winning.

-Equal Opportunity:

There is equal opportunity through because you start with the same characters. When playing you can get back pieces when getting pawns to the opposite side.

-Winning Chances:

Once someone has no more pawns they cant get anymore pieces back. By then the end of the game is near.

-No Kingmaker Affect:

When the queen is killed there is a certain disadvantage to the player with no queen.

-No Early Elimination:

There is no early elimination because if someone is eliminated then the game is finished.

-Uniformity:

This game has a consistent theme throughout the game and every time you play it. The theme is just kings and queens.

-Quality of Components:

The components of the game are very uniform and nicely designed. They are always the same pieces.

-Target Groups and Consistency of Rules:

This game appeals to people that like strategic long games. The rules stay the same all throughout and all games of chess the pieces always do the same thing

-Complexity and Influence

This game can be short or long depending on the game play. The rules would stay the same though
