Over the Christmas period I worked on my assignment which instructed to play an ancient game, iterate and tweak the rules of the game. Here I will share with you just one of the rule changes I had in mind.
After playing the Royal Game of Ur, I decided that the game could be too long for players to complete. The Royal Game of Ur requires the players to land precisely on the end square in order for their piece to be taken off the board. I found that after playing the game, if the players did not roll the exact number of squares required to reach the end square exactly, they would be moving back and forward past it for a long period of time.
I found that this could drag the game on a lot. So I wanted to change the fact that players had to land exactly on the end square. The rule I proposed would mean that no matter what number the player throws on the dice, if it takes them to, and or past the end square, that piece could be removed.
This is just one of the rule changes I have implemented in my assignment. I imagine over the coming weeks there will be more blog posts.
