Projects Day

I know i haven't been posting in my blog for sometime. so SORRY! Anyway, me, zhi quan, colin and thomson(203) have been recently been working on our project which belongs in cat. 5. There have been a few changes after my first post and the whole content has since changed.

Now our board game (yes it is a board game -.-") is called Mystical ( don't know why name it ). I am writing this blog to describe about my project. There are a few concepts people who plan to play this game need to understand before trying to play this game. There are 5 kinds of cards. They are the Power Card (will be explained later), Mystery Card (will be explained later), Treasure Card(a.k.a money/gold), King Card (will be explained later), and Guard Card(used to guard the king).


God Cards
Our game plot revolves around the greek mythology and about the gods like Zeus and Poseidon. King Cards are these Gods. These Gods protect the area which they live in. The Gods are Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo and Athena. Zeus is the god of lightning, Poseidon is the god of water, Apollo is the god of fire and poems and Athena is the god of strategy.


Guard Cards
Before a player gets to attack the opponents king, he/she has to penetrate the guards who will be protecting the king with their life. These guards fight each other according to the dice power( later explained) that the player gets.

Power Cards and Dice Power
Power Cards are cards that increase dice power to defeat an opponent easier. Dice power is what you get when you throw two dice and add together the sum of their power. For example, I got 8 dice power and my opponent got 9 dice power, so the opponent attacks my guard and kills it since he has more dice power. This is where Power Cards come into play if you are desperately trying to win. However, with pros comes cons. Although Power Cards can help you to increase the Dice Power, you need to use Treasure Cards(explained later) which you get after killing each guard or enemy.

Mystery Cards
These cards provide you with either super powers or self-inflicting items. They can help you get rid of the king immediately or can instead kill yourself! In order to use these cards, you will need to roll your dice and depends on how much dice power that you have then you can use the Mystery Card. For example, if you have 8 Dice Power, and the Mystery Card requires 5 Dice power and another Mystery Card requires 3 Dice power, then you can use both of them as long as they add up to your Dice Power or is lesser. *Take Note: you cannot use your power card first to add Dice Power then use the Mystery Card.

Treasure Cards
These cards are basically gold or money which you use to buy Power Cards as earlier explained. Using these Treasure Cards, you can also buy the ultimate attack for your King to attack so that you got a higher chance of winning!

How it is played
You will start with 10 power cards and 10 treasure cards. Obviously the power cards will be not as good that can be bought. 4 players must be playing this game, no more no less. Each person throws the dice to see who gets to start first. Each player shuffles his cards ( yet to be clarified where did the deck come from). Each used card is placed in your graveyard. Each turn you can only attack one time, buy one card or use a power card or mystery card. The power of the Mystery Card is used before you throw the dice.

Well that's all for now about my project. I will post more about my project next time if we make it to the semi-finals ^^. Cross Fingers. Bye-bye!
