Today I had a long discussion with my advisors (my sons) about the story behind our game. They are nine and seven years old, they are advanced learners and experienced card and board game players. They also have the most amazing and vivid imaginations in the whole wide world. After a while it was just the two of them brainstorming ideas about the characters of the game and having a blast. To be honest, at some point I felt a bit overwhelmed because their stories and characters were getting a bit too complicated for a game and for me to follow.
Decisions of the day: 1)Every answer number card will be a character of some kind. You collect the characters while playing. At the end the winner is the one with the most characters, or the most powerful ones. 2) Maybe we can make a mini game that you play using the characters you earned. Kind of like Pokemon, but simple. The idea is to encourage children to collect the characters. Character ideas: warriors, knights, alien creatures, ninjas, animals…
We need to find a type of character that both boys and girls will like, and one that I can create a variety of. My sons are really excited about warriors but I think it will be difficult to create 42 different warriors. I like the idea of alien or strange creatures.
