Week 4

Today, we decided on the main graphics used on the cards. This includes the back image of the character cards and the back image on the discovery cards. The main graphic for the cards will be a hybrid logo combining both the CIA and Soviet emblem. The character cards were decided to be larger than the other cards, probably of index card size. In addition, we may implement a character card stand to have the players place their character card in front of them. After much deliberation, it was decided that spies can be of both British or Soviet descent. This allows for more variation and possibilities when it comes to questions. Cecillia brought up an interesting point how one could tell the origin of a spy depending on the rusting condition of the staples on their passport. We discussed various questions that could be posed after much research on the topic of the Cold War and spies. In terms of the cards, we decided that we would either use card stock or card protecting sleeves after printing them in the correct size. Also, throughout the class, we ran into problems that we noticed and complications which we had not thought out. However, we decided to continue and figure the problems out during the play testing stage as we can see most of the problems easing along or fixing themselves hopefully.  The class concluded with us deciding on a meeting time and place to further gather ideas and work on a playable product for the next class. We will also continue to gather and create graphics for the cards to make them aesthetically pleasing.
