More than anything, the game needs a theme, a story, a background. Children like games in which they get to play roles and be part of a story. I learnt that well, not only from my teaching experience but also from my three sons who love games with a big dose of imagination, fantasy and science fiction. Games like Pokemon, and magic the gathering are very popular among children. My boys, for example like to collect Pokemon cards and talk about who has the more powerful or rare ones.
I want the cards of our game to be interesting and attractive for children, and the story behind the game to excite their imagination.
I love creating characters and stories for games, but until now my games were aiming younger children ages 4 -7. I believe this game is suitable for children 7 and up, since multiplication tables are introduced in grades 2/3 .So the story needs to be appealing to older children, and that is a great challenge!
