Reflection

​During the time we were working on creative project, I learned a lot things from  the progress. This creative project is the most special project that I ever had. I chose to create a board game with Jerry and Minh because I think forming this board game we could learn what is teamwork. Also from this project we could understand the characters personalities more deeply than before. Because this is a board game and it must  relates to our novel, so we spent a lot of time on creating cards and rules. So we did our best to make this game be fair, interesting and reasonable. 
​The first thing we did is to found a game mode which is most related to the novel. First we thought that  we should do a zillionaire game, but finally we change our mind because we thought zillionaire game is a competitive game, and competition in it is most attractive part. Also zillionaire game is too normal and usual for us. So we decided to change another game mode. In the end, our game is based on the game Saboteur and it is a card game. The purpose of our game is after playing game every one can have a better understanding of why unity is important in this game and referred to the novel how the Ashmol's family fight together to against the people who wants to destroy their family.
​After we decided what we want to do, we started to create our own cards. This is the most difficult part of our project because in our group no one is good at drawing or painting. This is the first problem and also is the hardest problem we need to solve, so we chose to separates the jobs first. My job is to design the special character and their abilities in this game which is related to the novel Pobby and Dingan. Minh's job and Jerry's job were the same they were going to make the cards by using the note card and trying to draw some of the road cards. In this project we helped each other and every one worked very hard. After we almost finished all the road cards, Jerry found Lillian to help us to draw the characters cards. That solved our problem perfectly. 
​When our group had already finished drawing all the cards which we are going to use in this board game, we came up a special idea to our game. Our idea is to add two goal cards in our original goal cards. The two special cards will be Pobby and Dingan, and the player who gets the character card of Kellyanne is going to let other players to find Pobby and Dingan. So the number of our goal cards became to five. Based on this idea our game can be related to the novel more clearly. Because these goals cards remind the players Pobby and Dingan who are the most important imaginary friends Kellyanne believed.
