A little contribution of mine~

 

My contributions towards my group was pitching in idea’s for the board game initially. Then I also was part of planning the gameplay of the board game. I was required to find out about the reactors and their components to create, as that was one element in our board game. I worked with few group members for the components to check if we were going in the right direction, and worked towards creating a creative game. I also was assigned to purchase the materials needed for the board game.

 

How do I feel about our board game?

 

The board game itself is a merge from Monopoly, Snake and ladder, and Risk. The elements of buying properties was taken from Monopoly, where it was changed to buying components for building a reactor, mole balance as an example. Snake and ladder board was taken to keep score, with some squares having some power-ups such as paying rents , another aspect of Monopoly. The game Risk comes in when someone tries to destroy another person’s reactor, by using power cards or also known as safety card. This overall concept itself was fun to think of, and trying to fit three subjects inside was challenging. But this has opened a whole new perspective of chemical engineering to me, on how fun and also challenging it can be.
