Unit 2's First Play Test

 Playtesting Team Isaac’s Group’s Game

---

During the playtest we played Azra’s Game as well as Isaac’s Game. Both had entertaining elements as well as interesting formal elements.

Isaac’s game was a culinary strategy game. 

-Players: The game supports two players. The types of players that are supported 

by the game is vast: aggressive, passive, and etc.

-Objective: The objective is the game is to reach $10,000 before your opponent

-Procedures: The procedures are as follows: hire employees, collect revenue from 

Employees, roll/spin for a special event, and repeat.

-Rules: Players can only hire 3 cooks, 2 cashiers, and 1 janitor at a time. Players 

cash values never go below zero. If a position is maxed then an employee must be fired prior to hiring a new one.

-Resources: The resources are simple. Money and employees.

-Conflict: The special events can take a player in the lead and put them at the 

bottom or take a player at the back of the pack and bring them to first place.

-Boundaries: There’s no true boundaries outside of the rules. You’re mainly limited by 

the rules. 

-Outcome: One player acquires $10,000 and wins.

The game overall was simple yet elegant. It had entertaining elements that satisfied it’s age group as well. There were a few balancing issues that needed ironing out as well as just specifications of game mechanics. Otherwise the game was phenomenal and I found great enjoyment playing it.
