The elements of the game

In Oregon Trail, the player must find food and save as much money in order to survive throughout the field. by choosing the path you want to take in the game. What interesting about "This Is The Only Level" game, is that it has only one level and the level is different from the last and my project is similar to that game. The element of the game Jurassic Heart game is like a Sim related where you are the dinosaur who is looking for a mate and choosing the right path, so that your mate would be interesting with you. The Canabalt uses the city as a reference and the element is they use the run and jump technique to  avoid falling from the building to your death. Super Hexagon is a surviving game where you must escape the hexagon wall from closing in. The element of this game is about surviving the longest without dying. My game is having three lives and you must avoid and killing the monsters in order to win the game. These games help me find what my element for my game is and it is surviving the longest without dying, which makes it challenging for players to play the game.

Objective

This is a card game where each player would start with 5 cards in their hand and place the deck on the table. Each player will take turns rolling 2 20-sided dice at the same time and the result of the dice will be the sum total of the dices that player will try to make per round. Each player can use as many cards they like in their hand to get the closest number as a result of the sum total of the dice without going over wins the round. When the player wins the round, they take the losing player's cards along with your cards that each player used and place it onto the winning player's pile. If each player gets a tie result, then they must re-roll the dice again for another round. Every round, each player must draw until they have 5 in their hand.

The cards indicate how many points are calculated by scores.

Cards:  A  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10   J   Q   K

Points:  1   2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  13

The first player to score over 100 points on their pile, wins the game.

My first partner and I came up with a rule that allows us to play test to see if the rules made sense. The game started as a math term game that allows us add the total number of cards that would equal or over 100 points. As the result of the game, it was a bit slow from the start. The rules were changed so it would have the element of speed. We suggest that using two 20 sided dice would made the game go faster and it would be more clear on how the objective of the game would be finish.

My second partner would make this game similar to "Speed" the fastest card game. The game was finished fast but it completely made it into a different game almost similar to "Speed." The rules were changed and it allows us to keep rolling the 20 sided dice to see if we like or hate what we roll.

The game turned out fun for play testing. The core mechanic of this game is strategy and challenging against other players, who are competing into various games. The rules applied when the players must focusing on how to win the game of math.
