Week 2

Today, we, The Cold War Kids, accomplished a variety of goals and tasks. During collaboration, we presented our card game proposals and came to a group consensus on which one we would pursue as the final project. During deliberation, we were introduced to Phil's proposition on a game which involved deception and a good poker face. The game was to involve the appointment of Cold War "spies" who were expected to deceive others by preventing them from guessing who they are. Ray's proposition involved a game which involved players to strategically use "effect" cards and "number" cards to quickly accumulate thirty points worth of number cards on the playing field. Cecilia's proposition involved a zombie themed card game which involved players attempting to survive by utilizing weapon cards to defend themselves against zombies. Matt's proposition involved a game in which players were attempting to overthrow a "king" by accumulating gold.
By the end of class, we had unanimously decided that Phil's Cold War Spies game had the most promise as, as it was interesting, seemed fun, contained theme and game elements, a solid set of mechanics, and seemed realistic to pursue. Although the game will need adjustments and more input, the foundation that was started today seems to hint at a successful collaborative card game project. Finally, the group had decided on a group name which they will now be known as: The Cold War Kids.
