Playtesting

We play tested our game on two different groups. Since our prototype cogwheels were made out of cardboard and tape, they didn’t work as well as we had hoped they would. Since the spinning didn’t work properly, the players who tested our game had to make a lot of thinking just to understand the basic concept of spinning the different cogwheels and how this correlates. Once the players understood the system, they thought it was quite interesting and saw potential for it to work, but we really need to improve the cogwheels.

They also said that we should add more flexibility in the movement. This was something we had thought of before, but we had decided that we just wanted to tryout the basic movement system this time; to make sure that it could work. We’ll probably add another component to the game play such as cards, so that the players get the chance to use different tactics.
