As part of their Prototyping exam, students had to work together in a group to develop a enjoyable board game. The focus of the assignment was not to have a perfectly finished game, but more about the iterative design process, including extensive playtesting and implementing player feedback.

 

Apart from the design process, students were also introduced to the scrum methodology, which they had to use to manage their project. Even though the visual look of the prototype was not important, some students put considerable effort into polishing their prototype and making it look appealing.
