ALL SIN

1. Title of the game:

•  All sin

 

2. One Sentence Description of the game- what is the basic concept? 

•  Concept for the game is to put a gambling themed spin on classic real world games, with a point system, along with attributes related to the game’s gambling theme, allowing for simple, yet engaging gameplay.

 

(What would you do for fortune, fame, power, notoriety? Would you become a kingpin, build a harem, fill your heart with the finest food content, or have people waiting on your every order? In this game compete among 4 players to win everything your heart desires). Possibly competing to be named the head of an organized crime unit?)

 

3. Paragraph describing the social aspect of the project- what is the reason for doing it? Is there a story behind it? If there is a story, summarize it. Who is it for? Will it help people? How will they experience the game? 

•  The social aspect of our project is based upon capitalism and gambling. In this game, players are civilians in a cutthroat competition and series of mini games each testing their character. Through trials and tribulations people's true nature are revealed.  Players compete against other players and try to win it all, money, fame, notoriety, whatever their heart desires. They must ask themselves,what are they willing to lose and how much? This game appeals to those who want to jump straight into the gameplay and do not want to worry about difficult instruction. This game can help people by spreading the awareness of gambling and its issues in society. Often in capitalistic societies success is often found at another’s expense this game hopes to capture that with players having real world repercussions with loss of assets and money.

 

4. Describe the core game mechanics. What is the goal of the game? What are the rules? What is the reward structure? 

• The core game mechanics of our project would utilize a point system [POINT/RANKING SYSTEM] : First game grants 1pt… 2nd game grants 2 pts… etc. Players can choose their vice (whichever sin they want) This can gain them extra points in the end. 

• The goal of our game is to spread awareness about gambling.

• The overall rule of our game is to track your points and follow the basic rules of each presenting game.

• The rewards structure of the game is that the player with the most points will win all the money they amassed

6. Implementation- What is your plan to get the work done? Do you have a schedule? Do you need specific materials – hardware, software, etc? Do you need to learn anything specific? Do you need to use any copyrighted material? Do you need to buy anything to get it done?

7. Evaluation- How will you judge the effectiveness of the game? What will make the game a success? What will you need feedback on? 

•  Our evaluation of the effectiveness of our game will be determined by the players enjoyment during the magic circle of gameplay as well as the proper competition amongst the players. We will expect feedback on the clarity of the game's rules and expectations. Feedback on display will also be evaluated.

EXTRA: 7 deadly sin game ideas:

1. Connect 4  (Greed): Needs a grid (6x7) and pieces

• The winners get 2 chips each from the losers.

1. Dice game with 3 dice?: Needs 3 dice, small chart of combinations. (Gluttony)

• 2 chip entry, winner takes all, in the case of a tie, re roll.

1. Go fish?: deck of 28 cards 1-7, suits optional.(Lust)

• Deck of 28 cards. Same rules as go fish, collect most sets, collect 1 chip from each loser..

1. Guessing game: Deck of cards from Go fish (sloth)

• Players guess a card attribute and flip it over. If they get it right they capture the card. The person with the most cards wins 1 chip from all the other players.

1. Russian roulette (Wrath): Deck of cards with numbers 1-6, bullet design die.

Roll the bullet die. Players take turns drawing cards from the deck. The one that draws the card with the same number on the bullet die is out. Restart when a player goes out and play until only one person remains. They get one chip from each other player.

1. Trick taking game: deck of cards, everyone gets one. “One card poker” (Pride)

• Everyone is dealt one card. Starting in turn order, a player can bet, fold, or call. If a player folds they lose any chips they had previously bet. When both players agree to pass, they showdown, highest number wins the pot.

1. Old maid: 28 card deck from Go fish + 1 angel or skull card. (Envy)

• Same rules as Old maid normally has, just less cards. Loser pays the winners a chip each.

Conditions for winning:
