Physical Game Production - Writeup

This assignment is due on Monday 4/30.

We will now work on board game production, then playtesting each other’s games.

Writeup

I want each team to submit a writeup describing their production phase. I’m looking for at least a few pages here. Be descriptive!

Formatting and spelling

  • No, or few, spelling, grammar, mistakes
  • Clear use of structure like section headings, lists, paragraphs

Hand-in

I recommend using Google Docs or a similar platform so that everyone on the team can contribute easily.

Please send your writeup to me via email, or give me read access (share it) if it’s on a platform like Google Docs. Plain text, an attachment, or a link to the document are all fine. See the Projects page for the due date.
