8
00:00:20,690 --> 00:00:23,316
PROFESSOR: OK, thanks
for showing up on time.

9
00:00:23,316 --> 00:00:26,788
I really appreciate it.

10
00:00:26,788 --> 00:00:28,155
It's kind of weird at this.

11
00:00:28,155 --> 00:00:31,336
And I never see this front
row completely empty,

12
00:00:31,336 --> 00:00:35,200
but this will be [INAUDIBLE].

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,800
Thank you.

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,770
That really makes
me feel better.

15
00:00:40,770 --> 00:00:42,450
So, today's
structure of class is

16
00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:44,250
going to be very
similar to what we

17
00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:46,630
did last time, which
was we're going

18
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:49,417
to talk a little bit about a
reading, play a bunch of games.

19
00:00:49,417 --> 00:00:50,875
[INAUDIBLE] the
reading [INAUDIBLE]

20
00:00:50,875 --> 00:00:53,429
end of class probably
with more time for you

21
00:00:53,429 --> 00:00:54,720
to work through your prototype.

22
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,970
Just as a reminder,
Rick and I are here

23
00:00:56,970 --> 00:01:00,190
to do any play testing
that you might want.

24
00:01:00,190 --> 00:01:02,310
And we'll give you feedback.

25
00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:05,710
Along with the feedback, we
also put all the grades up.

26
00:01:05,710 --> 00:01:12,480
Thanks to Rick for getting them
all down for assignment two.

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:18,840
And all the-- if you look at
the comments that we've sent,

28
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,080
there are two sections.

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,720
One is a section that is just
about your individual write-up

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,130
which only you see.

31
00:01:24,130 --> 00:01:26,589
And then there is a chunk
that is the comments

32
00:01:26,589 --> 00:01:29,130
will be geared to every single
one of the team members, which

33
00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:32,080
was basically based on
your product itself.

34
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,265
Do take those in mind.

35
00:01:33,265 --> 00:01:37,230
Do keep in mind because there's
a lot of stuff there that--

36
00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:39,810
a lot of feedback that we're
giving you in the hopes

37
00:01:39,810 --> 00:01:42,400
that you will be able to put
that feedback to good use

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,064
for assignment three.

39
00:01:44,064 --> 00:01:47,645
And Did you have
a general comment?

40
00:01:47,645 --> 00:01:51,050
RICK: Yeah, in particular,
rules, rules, rules.

41
00:01:51,050 --> 00:01:52,240
Proofread your rules.

42
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,275
Test your rules.

43
00:01:54,275 --> 00:01:57,140
The presentation and
expression of your rules

44
00:01:57,140 --> 00:02:00,147
is just as important,
if not more important,

45
00:02:00,147 --> 00:02:03,090
than the design of your game.

46
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:05,730
That's why we have you play
games you haven't played before

47
00:02:05,730 --> 00:02:07,497
and read the rules you
haven't seen before

48
00:02:07,497 --> 00:02:09,372
to see how bad the
professionals get it done.

49
00:02:09,372 --> 00:02:11,220
Try to be better than that.

50
00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:16,770
The main things
we're looking for--

51
00:02:16,770 --> 00:02:20,760
coherence, clarity,
organization, figures,

52
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,440
and illustrations.

53
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,300
So, for assignment
three, please try

54
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:27,759
to put in illustrated--
at least, bare minimum,

55
00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:30,050
illustrate what it looks like
when your game is set up.

56
00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:32,670
Illustrate what it looks
like when a major state

57
00:02:32,670 --> 00:02:35,150
change happens in the game.

58
00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:41,250
Give us a basic section
that just says here's

59
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:43,040
kind of goal, how
you play the game.

60
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,850
Here's how you
actually play the game.

61
00:02:44,850 --> 00:02:47,346
Here's some examples for how
various things within the game

62
00:02:47,346 --> 00:02:47,846
happen.

63
00:02:47,846 --> 00:02:51,000
There is general guidelines
on the [INAUDIBLE]

64
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,952
materials [INAUDIBLE]
readings we've given you.

65
00:02:54,952 --> 00:02:58,410
Really pay attention to
that for assignment three.

66
00:02:58,410 --> 00:03:00,816
Basically, in each assignment
we get a little bit more

67
00:03:00,816 --> 00:03:03,432
tougher when we're
grading the rules section.

68
00:03:03,432 --> 00:03:05,640
PROFESSOR: Because you've
have two rounds of feedback

69
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:06,560
already on rules.

70
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,810
And hopefully, the third
time around, you know what--

71
00:03:09,810 --> 00:03:12,060
you get into the idea of
what we're looking for.

72
00:03:12,060 --> 00:03:18,880
Also, use illustrations in your
rules to get your point across.

73
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,700
You know, that's something
that we typically find

74
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:24,710
under-used where you spend
a lot of words trying

75
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:26,727
to explain some things
which [INAUDIBLE] is far

76
00:03:26,727 --> 00:03:28,310
easier to understand
where [INAUDIBLE]

77
00:03:28,310 --> 00:03:30,240
a simple, [? minor ?] drawing.

78
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,780
Even just like a cell phone
camera, like a sketch,

79
00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:35,080
would probably have
been more informative

80
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,410
than paragraphs and paragraphs.

81
00:03:37,410 --> 00:03:39,560
RICK: Actually, I have
a [INAUDIBLE] working

82
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,775
for me on a board game.

83
00:03:42,775 --> 00:03:45,440
And she did something amazing
what I've actually never

84
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,760
thought about doing for rules.

85
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,400
She made it basically
in PowerPoint.

86
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,955
It's really, really
long, a lot of pages.

87
00:03:50,955 --> 00:03:53,043
So I'm really not
sure how well it's

88
00:03:53,043 --> 00:03:54,418
going to work that
way when we're

89
00:03:54,418 --> 00:03:55,674
going to be testing with it.

90
00:03:55,674 --> 00:03:59,130
But it's very illustrative
and very diagrammy--

91
00:03:59,130 --> 00:04:02,570
lots of big words, very
little written out.

92
00:04:02,570 --> 00:04:05,849
Very little written out, like
, long paragraphs of language.

93
00:04:05,849 --> 00:04:07,640
I'm going to get the
latest version of that

94
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,550
and share it with the class
so you can kind of see

95
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:15,300
what that looks like, if that's
useful for your game or not.

96
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:19,410
PROFESSOR: I personally have had
a lot of luck with Google Docs

97
00:04:19,410 --> 00:04:22,200
built-in drawing tools.

98
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,720
So you, for the
word processing doc,

99
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,790
just bring up the drawing
[? in it. ?] And just, like,

100
00:04:27,790 --> 00:04:30,270
drawing things like cards
that overlap each other

101
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:31,410
with text in them--

102
00:04:31,410 --> 00:04:34,150
like, Google Docs has all
the tools you need for that.

103
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:38,129
Drawing arrows
that arc in curves

104
00:04:38,129 --> 00:04:39,670
with one arrowhead
and two arrowheads

105
00:04:39,670 --> 00:04:42,220
and everything that you need
there is already [INAUDIBLE].

106
00:04:42,220 --> 00:04:44,790
So if you don't have
a drawing program,

107
00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:46,670
that's a lot built
into Microsoft Word

108
00:04:46,670 --> 00:04:49,960
and in Google Docs that
you can take advantage of.

109
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,920
They don't have to look
great, but they could often

110
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,820
get across the point a
lot easier than text.

111
00:04:56,820 --> 00:04:58,296
So, do try to use those.

112
00:04:58,296 --> 00:05:00,028
STUDENT: The next
playtest is March 7.

113
00:05:00,028 --> 00:05:00,954
Is that right?

114
00:05:00,954 --> 00:05:02,370
PROFESSOR: I believe
that's right.

115
00:05:02,370 --> 00:05:03,070
I don't--

116
00:05:03,070 --> 00:05:03,710
STUDENT: May 7.

117
00:05:03,710 --> 00:05:04,140
[INAUDIBLE]

118
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:04,765
PROFESSOR: May.

119
00:05:04,765 --> 00:05:07,801
STUDENT: [INAUDIBLE]

120
00:05:07,801 --> 00:05:09,301
RICK: So, I highly,
highly recommend

121
00:05:09,301 --> 00:05:11,134
bringing a draft of
your rules in and having

122
00:05:11,134 --> 00:05:13,032
that as part of the playtest.

123
00:05:13,032 --> 00:05:14,990
You'll get feedback from
[? Phil and myself. ?]

124
00:05:14,990 --> 00:05:18,266
You'll also get feedback
from our guest lecturers.

125
00:05:18,266 --> 00:05:19,890
PROFESSOR: Every time
somebody asks you

126
00:05:19,890 --> 00:05:23,970
for rule verification in class
or when you're playtesting

127
00:05:23,970 --> 00:05:26,490
with your dorm mate
or whatever, that's

128
00:05:26,490 --> 00:05:28,539
a good opportunity
for you to think

129
00:05:28,539 --> 00:05:30,955
of how you could reword your
rules or reformat your rules.

130
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:36,641
That is clearly
a situation where

131
00:05:36,641 --> 00:05:38,890
this could be a question
that's going to come up again

132
00:05:38,890 --> 00:05:40,170
when we play the game.

133
00:05:40,170 --> 00:05:43,050
Or it could be a situation like
they just didn't understand

134
00:05:43,050 --> 00:05:44,580
the rules as written right now.

135
00:05:44,580 --> 00:05:46,560
So you've got to
rephrase it somehow.

136
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,310
Use the bullet points,
examples, and make

137
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:56,710
sure they're visually distinct
when someone is [INAUDIBLE].

138
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:58,920
RICK: Game designer
I follow on Twitter

139
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:04,480
is a very, very well spoken
[INAUDIBLE] just posted.

140
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,780
There's a difference between a
broken rule and a broken rules

141
00:06:08,780 --> 00:06:09,360
presentation.

142
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,355
The problem could be in either
[INAUDIBLE] both those places.

143
00:06:12,355 --> 00:06:15,030
Without testing, you're
just not going to find it.

144
00:06:15,030 --> 00:06:17,530
PROFESSOR: If the only way that
people are playing your game

145
00:06:17,530 --> 00:06:18,890
is that you are
explaining it to them,

146
00:06:18,890 --> 00:06:19,630
then you're not
getting the feedback

147
00:06:19,630 --> 00:06:21,050
that you need on your rules.

148
00:06:21,050 --> 00:06:24,800
So, make sure that
for assignment three,

149
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,000
your rules have been tested too.

150
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,550
The rulesheet has been tested
as well as [INAUDIBLE].

151
00:06:32,250 --> 00:06:37,440
Also, one tip for people who
are doing personal write ups--

152
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,510
people are getting
better at sort

153
00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:43,170
of identifying things
that went well,

154
00:06:43,170 --> 00:06:47,280
things that didn't go
so well in the project.

155
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:52,710
And that's good, in general
if you did a decent write up,

156
00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:57,640
you probably got a extra half
grade on top of your grade.

157
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,750
So if you got like a B minus--

158
00:06:59,750 --> 00:07:02,820
if you got a B plus,
your write up alone

159
00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:06,850
could push you to an
A minus, for instance.

160
00:07:06,850 --> 00:07:10,590
But what some people
don't [? necessarily ?]

161
00:07:10,590 --> 00:07:14,657
do is just say next time,
I'm going to do this,

162
00:07:14,657 --> 00:07:16,740
or next time, I'm going
to be sure not to do this.

163
00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:19,340
Just like, little simple
little things like,

164
00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:22,740
what are you going to take all
of this for future projects?

165
00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:25,570
So right now,
[? we are seeing ?]

166
00:07:25,570 --> 00:07:30,050
a good analysis of your previous
project, but usually write

167
00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:33,520
ups will also [INAUDIBLE]
what the take-away is.

168
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,330
This is what I've wanted to make
sure I'm going to try to do.

169
00:07:36,330 --> 00:07:38,122
Or maybe you're not sure.

170
00:07:38,122 --> 00:07:40,330
But this is something that
you're going to try to do.

171
00:07:40,330 --> 00:07:41,788
The next time you
make a game, this

172
00:07:41,788 --> 00:07:43,500
is what we're going
to try and do.

173
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:45,500
That can help a lot.

174
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:46,683
RICK: First time is free.

175
00:07:46,683 --> 00:07:48,058
If it's the last
game you'll ever

176
00:07:48,058 --> 00:07:50,627
make, then what are you going
to [INAUDIBLE] for a project?

177
00:07:50,627 --> 00:07:52,062
What are you going to do
on another team project,

178
00:07:52,062 --> 00:07:53,475
another design project?

179
00:07:53,475 --> 00:07:55,270
Think about the future.

180
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:56,070
PROFESSOR: It doesn't
have to be a design thing.

181
00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:57,950
It can be, maybe
next time, if I work

182
00:07:57,950 --> 00:08:00,030
on a team on a
creative project, I

183
00:08:00,030 --> 00:08:03,080
am going to make sure that I
communicate with them this way

184
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,500
or make sure that
you understand blah.

185
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:07,950
Just something
like that will be--

186
00:08:07,950 --> 00:08:09,700
some sort of lesson
that you're taking out

187
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:12,244
from the previous
assignment [INAUDIBLE].

188
00:08:15,988 --> 00:08:19,411
Any questions about the
assignment, assignment two?

189
00:08:19,411 --> 00:08:19,910
Grades?

190
00:08:22,580 --> 00:08:25,143
By the way, did you get
an email from something

191
00:08:25,143 --> 00:08:27,518
from [? Stella ?] that tells
you grades have been posted?

192
00:08:27,518 --> 00:08:28,668
STUDENT: No.

193
00:08:28,668 --> 00:08:30,376
RICK: Because I think
with other classes,

194
00:08:30,376 --> 00:08:32,792
[? they post ?] a more grades
like p-sets and other stuff.

195
00:08:32,792 --> 00:08:34,480
So it would be kind of annoying.

196
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,990
Like, four classes posting
a p-set every week,

197
00:08:36,990 --> 00:08:37,724
or once a week.

198
00:08:37,724 --> 00:08:38,890
PROFESSOR: That makes sense.

199
00:08:38,890 --> 00:08:40,120
OK, well, OK, then.

200
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,516
It's a good thing that
we haven't [INAUDIBLE].

201
00:08:43,516 --> 00:08:48,409
Today's reading is
mostly about [INAUDIBLE].

202
00:08:48,409 --> 00:08:49,950
It's actually a bit
of a post-mortem.

203
00:08:49,950 --> 00:08:54,450
It's written in the sort of
same style as the flavor text

204
00:08:54,450 --> 00:08:57,380
of [INAUDIBLE].

205
00:08:57,380 --> 00:09:02,500
And I thought it might help
to actually open up the box,

206
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:04,452
give you an idea of
what it looks inside.

207
00:09:04,452 --> 00:09:17,100
It might [INAUDIBLE] write up
for-- actually, [INAUDIBLE]

208
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:18,100
RICK: I've seen this.

209
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:19,350
I've watched people play this.

210
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:20,760
This is the latest edition.

211
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,290
You might have seen the
[INAUDIBLE] edition.

212
00:09:23,290 --> 00:09:27,700
PROFESSOR: And
[INAUDIBLE] before that.

213
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:31,130
[INAUDIBLE] bigger
than [INAUDIBLE].

214
00:09:31,130 --> 00:09:33,637
RICK: There's the special
power that [INAUDIBLE].

215
00:09:33,637 --> 00:09:34,220
PROFESSOR: Ah.

216
00:09:34,220 --> 00:09:43,090
[INAUDIBLE] So you get a bunch
of planets, different colors,

217
00:09:43,090 --> 00:09:45,427
and I believe the
colors correspond

218
00:09:45,427 --> 00:09:46,301
to different players.

219
00:09:46,301 --> 00:09:50,630
[INAUDIBLE]

220
00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:53,790
Got your tokens, some of
which are used, some of which

221
00:09:53,790 --> 00:09:57,739
are not used depending on
the assortment of character

222
00:09:57,739 --> 00:10:00,040
that you've got in your game.

223
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,491
[INAUDIBLE] particular
[INAUDIBLE].

224
00:10:03,491 --> 00:10:07,928
Or you may not use that either.

225
00:10:07,928 --> 00:10:09,407
This is the counter.

226
00:10:09,407 --> 00:10:15,430
You can see you can
put [INAUDIBLE] a race.

227
00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:22,460
[INAUDIBLE]

228
00:10:22,460 --> 00:10:24,280
STUDENT: [INAUDIBLE]

229
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,020
PROFESSOR: Yeah, so
you can track them.

230
00:10:26,020 --> 00:10:28,478
And [INAUDIBLE] how each player
keeps track of [INAUDIBLE].

231
00:10:28,478 --> 00:10:29,721
So, here's the yellow player.

232
00:10:29,721 --> 00:10:31,130
Here's the green player.

233
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:32,712
And say both of
them are at three.

234
00:10:32,712 --> 00:10:35,160
So [INAUDIBLE] that.

235
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,800
[INAUDIBLE] not able
to [INAUDIBLE] but it's

236
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,880
just a way to keep
track of [INAUDIBLE]

237
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,280
for any one [INAUDIBLE].

238
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,360
And a whole tight pile of
cards of two different sizes.

239
00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:59,120
It's a really bad [INAUDIBLE]
Some of these cards,

240
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,150
I'm not entirely
sure what they do.

241
00:11:01,150 --> 00:11:04,024
But the cards that I do know
what they do are the cards

242
00:11:04,024 --> 00:11:08,370
[INAUDIBLE], [? Oh my god, ?]
[? it's a mess. ?] [INAUDIBLE]

243
00:11:08,370 --> 00:11:10,370
separate [INAUDIBLE] cards.

244
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:14,830
[INAUDIBLE] cards which
have these numbers.

245
00:11:14,830 --> 00:11:17,800
And what are you
basically doing is

246
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:23,245
you're using these cards
[INAUDIBLE] identify who is

247
00:11:23,245 --> 00:11:27,205
going to initiate [INAUDIBLE].

248
00:11:30,670 --> 00:11:31,660
Here we go.

249
00:11:31,660 --> 00:11:35,194
Yeah, so you add-- so
these numbers, depending

250
00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:36,610
on how many cards
that are played,

251
00:11:36,610 --> 00:11:39,085
basically give your ships
some sort of attack powers.

252
00:11:39,085 --> 00:11:41,560
But then you also
have individual ships

253
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:44,777
that [INAUDIBLE] move on to
attack [INAUDIBLE] attacking

254
00:11:44,777 --> 00:11:45,520
a red planet.

255
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,500
And what I'll do is
I'll point this arrow

256
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:48,985
toward the red planet.

257
00:11:48,985 --> 00:11:51,955
Anybody defending the red planet
puts chips on the red planet.

258
00:11:51,955 --> 00:11:53,935
Anybody who's attacking
it puts it on this

259
00:11:53,935 --> 00:12:00,865
[INAUDIBLE] very nice point
[INAUDIBLE] are attacking.

260
00:12:00,865 --> 00:12:03,340
That whole game
basically largely

261
00:12:03,340 --> 00:12:06,557
comes down to you trying
to encourage other people

262
00:12:06,557 --> 00:12:10,824
to contribute either to your
defense [? or the ?] attack.

263
00:12:10,824 --> 00:12:12,240
Please give me some chips.

264
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,222
Please give [INAUDIBLE]
and [INAUDIBLE]

265
00:12:16,222 --> 00:12:23,543
negotiate [INAUDIBLE]
mutual benefit [INAUDIBLE].

266
00:12:23,543 --> 00:12:25,753
But this is the really
interesting part

267
00:12:25,753 --> 00:12:28,610
of the game, which is
when you start a game,

268
00:12:28,610 --> 00:12:30,150
you get one of these cards.

269
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:32,102
And this tells you
what race you are.

270
00:12:32,102 --> 00:12:34,457
And each race
basically has a power

271
00:12:34,457 --> 00:12:38,390
that lets them break the
rules somewhere in the rules.

272
00:12:38,390 --> 00:12:43,130
Only you have this ability
to break this power.

273
00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:48,026
So for instance, this
is the [? hate ?] race.

274
00:12:48,026 --> 00:12:50,420
And they have the power of rage.

275
00:12:50,420 --> 00:12:52,740
So at the start of a
turn, you use this power

276
00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:54,890
to force every player
to either discard

277
00:12:54,890 --> 00:12:59,430
a card [? on the ?]
ship [INAUDIBLE] discard

278
00:12:59,430 --> 00:13:00,912
[INAUDIBLE].

279
00:13:00,912 --> 00:13:03,838
Everybody else must then
discard at the same time.

280
00:13:03,838 --> 00:13:06,170
So if I put [? down a ?]
[? card, ?] [INAUDIBLE]

281
00:13:06,170 --> 00:13:10,216
an attack card, everybody has
to discard an attack card.

282
00:13:10,216 --> 00:13:11,840
All these [INAUDIBLE]
ships [INAUDIBLE]

283
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:17,090
they make people
angry with this power.

284
00:13:17,090 --> 00:13:20,640
The filch is where you steal
cards from other people,

285
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,256
the power to hack.

286
00:13:26,504 --> 00:13:31,030
You can compensation from
other players, basically.

287
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:37,368
And so you've got this kind
of like weird almost like CCG,

288
00:13:37,368 --> 00:13:39,660
Collectible Card Game,
kind of a [INAUDIBLE]

289
00:13:39,660 --> 00:13:44,514
where depending on what you
start with [? is one way to ?]

290
00:13:44,514 --> 00:13:48,863
determine the shape of the
rest of the game board.

291
00:13:48,863 --> 00:13:51,289
And every time
you play the game,

292
00:13:51,289 --> 00:13:52,830
you can have a
different set of cards

293
00:13:52,830 --> 00:13:55,679
because each player gets
a different card between--

294
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,178
it's very, very
likely that you have

295
00:13:57,178 --> 00:13:59,728
to play two games with even
the same [? set of basis ?]

296
00:13:59,728 --> 00:14:01,162
at the table.

297
00:14:01,162 --> 00:14:06,898
[INAUDIBLE]

298
00:14:06,898 --> 00:14:10,856
And the whole idea of the
games we picked out today

299
00:14:10,856 --> 00:14:13,652
is that all of them
are kind of like a sort

300
00:14:13,652 --> 00:14:17,940
of an interesting case
of what it means to have

301
00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:21,210
changing rules in games.

302
00:14:21,210 --> 00:14:25,310
Risk Legacy-- how many of
you played this particular?

303
00:14:25,310 --> 00:14:29,044
OK, how long have you had
a game going [INAUDIBLE]

304
00:14:29,044 --> 00:14:29,762
how many rounds?

305
00:14:29,762 --> 00:14:31,470
STUDENT: I played with
people in my home.

306
00:14:31,470 --> 00:14:33,922
I played in like three
games and I think

307
00:14:33,922 --> 00:14:35,590
we played a total of 12 or so--

308
00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:36,090
12 games.

309
00:14:36,090 --> 00:14:38,690
PROFESSOR: Every time you play
this game, the game changes.

310
00:14:38,690 --> 00:14:40,058
STUDENT: [INAUDIBLE]

311
00:14:40,058 --> 00:14:40,924
PROFESSOR: What?

312
00:14:40,924 --> 00:14:42,090
STUDENT: I've heard of this.

313
00:14:42,090 --> 00:14:47,110
PROFESSOR: Yeah, [INAUDIBLE]
changes made [INAUDIBLE].

314
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:52,527
When you first buy the game,
four packets, four envelopes

315
00:14:52,527 --> 00:14:54,937
are actually [INAUDIBLE] the
past [? year, ?] You can see

316
00:14:54,937 --> 00:14:57,530
we played this a
bit [INAUDIBLE].

317
00:14:57,530 --> 00:15:01,920
And that gives you new
cards, stickers that you

318
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,678
can stick on the old cards.

319
00:15:04,678 --> 00:15:06,973
You can see this card had
a whole bunch of stickers

320
00:15:06,973 --> 00:15:11,675
added onto it that basically
introduce new rules into games.

321
00:15:11,675 --> 00:15:14,490
You can change the map.

322
00:15:14,490 --> 00:15:17,184
And usually, this comes
down to the people

323
00:15:17,184 --> 00:15:21,864
who won, the people who lost
get certain abilities to make

324
00:15:21,864 --> 00:15:28,830
changes [INAUDIBLE] areas
[INAUDIBLE] these [INAUDIBLE].

325
00:15:28,830 --> 00:15:32,420
Certain cities have
been established.

326
00:15:32,420 --> 00:15:37,687
So for instance, this is
the kingdom of [INAUDIBLE].

327
00:15:37,687 --> 00:15:39,532
This is the kingdom
of [INAUDIBLE].

328
00:15:39,532 --> 00:15:40,978
STUDENT: That's
mine, by the way.

329
00:15:40,978 --> 00:15:41,942
PROFESSOR: That yours?

330
00:15:41,942 --> 00:15:42,424
STUDENT: Yeah.

331
00:15:42,424 --> 00:15:42,906
PROFESSOR: OK.

332
00:15:42,906 --> 00:15:43,870
STUDENT: That's mine.

333
00:15:43,870 --> 00:15:48,687
PROFESSOR: [INAUDIBLE]
cover here.

334
00:15:48,687 --> 00:15:54,881
[INAUDIBLE] Here [INAUDIBLE].

335
00:15:54,881 --> 00:15:55,464
STUDENT: Yeah.

336
00:15:55,464 --> 00:16:00,360
PROFESSOR: [INAUDIBLE] in Japan.

337
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,080
So this was interesting
because one way

338
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,888
to think about it is
it's not the [INAUDIBLE]

339
00:16:08,888 --> 00:16:10,319
played the game of Risk?

340
00:16:10,319 --> 00:16:13,605
RICK: Yeah, it starts
off like Risk but closer

341
00:16:13,605 --> 00:16:16,594
to like Risk
20-something or other.

342
00:16:16,594 --> 00:16:17,260
PROFESSOR: Yeah.

343
00:16:17,260 --> 00:16:19,370
RICK: One of the
later editions of risk

344
00:16:19,370 --> 00:16:23,240
where there's like turn order
cards and some other-- it

345
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,320
does resources differently
than classic Risk did.

346
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,540
But basically, it is Risk.

347
00:16:28,540 --> 00:16:31,050
PROFESSOR: Yes, and you
have stickers that you

348
00:16:31,050 --> 00:16:34,550
can attach on the [INAUDIBLE].

349
00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:40,010
And so basically, every
time you play this game,

350
00:16:40,010 --> 00:16:42,860
you're playing a different
game [INAUDIBLE].

351
00:16:42,860 --> 00:16:44,443
RICK: The great thing
is, in this one,

352
00:16:44,443 --> 00:16:45,776
there's a story that goes along.

353
00:16:45,776 --> 00:16:48,230
As you do things,
the story changes.

354
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:51,479
So you're in this
post-apocalyptic hellscape.

355
00:16:51,479 --> 00:16:53,520
With these factions that
are fighting each other.

356
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,040
And then all of a sudden, when
a certain condition is reached,

357
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,800
one of those classes opens up
and new elements to the story

358
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,090
are discussed.

359
00:17:02,090 --> 00:17:04,428
And then a new race--
a new faction comes up

360
00:17:04,428 --> 00:17:05,626
or a new race comes up.

361
00:17:05,626 --> 00:17:11,260
So, spoilers-- there is aliens
right there from alien island.

362
00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:14,067
PROFESSOR: [INAUDIBLE]

363
00:17:14,067 --> 00:17:16,150
RICK: [INAUDIBLE] becomes
the alien collaborators.

364
00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:18,955
And that faction from now on
is considered the collaborator.

365
00:17:18,955 --> 00:17:21,190
It gets special powers
because of the aliens

366
00:17:21,190 --> 00:17:26,680
but they don't get--

367
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,880
I think they get
special powers and I

368
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,494
think they get a
special something that

369
00:17:32,494 --> 00:17:33,806
goes against them.

370
00:17:33,806 --> 00:17:38,512
PROFESSOR: This game is actually
probably not best played cold.

371
00:17:38,512 --> 00:17:40,260
But so what I will
suggest is that folks

372
00:17:40,260 --> 00:17:42,440
take a look at this box.

373
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,215
Because just trying to
internalize all of the changes

374
00:17:45,215 --> 00:17:50,046
that have happened to this
game since [INAUDIBLE] probably

375
00:17:50,046 --> 00:17:52,491
[INAUDIBLE].

376
00:17:52,491 --> 00:17:54,959
But it's very, very
[? unique way to ?] take a look

377
00:17:54,959 --> 00:17:56,980
and see what changes
have been made.

378
00:17:56,980 --> 00:18:01,226
One way that a designer
is going to [INAUDIBLE].

379
00:18:01,226 --> 00:18:04,776
A lot of the rules that
you get, a lot of changes

380
00:18:04,776 --> 00:18:08,020
you can make later in the game
are actually tools for you

381
00:18:08,020 --> 00:18:10,120
to fix [? the events. ?]

382
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:12,290
So there are really,
really powerful changes

383
00:18:12,290 --> 00:18:13,692
that you can make in the rules.

384
00:18:13,692 --> 00:18:15,900
But the whole idea is that
after you played something

385
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:18,140
like 15 rounds or 10
rounds of the game,

386
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:20,181
you kind of know where
the game is going,

387
00:18:20,181 --> 00:18:25,830
where the board is [INAUDIBLE]
or maybe [INAUDIBLE] how

388
00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:27,330
[INAUDIBLE].

389
00:18:27,330 --> 00:18:31,910
And the players now have
the tools to officially fix

390
00:18:31,910 --> 00:18:33,710
those imbalances to play.

391
00:18:33,710 --> 00:18:38,416
So in a way, it's [INAUDIBLE]
game design process.

392
00:18:38,416 --> 00:18:49,186
And [INAUDIBLE] you
have [INAUDIBLE]

393
00:18:49,186 --> 00:18:53,760
is kind of like a
deck building game

394
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,940
only your dice and [INAUDIBLE]
part of [INAUDIBLE].

395
00:18:58,940 --> 00:19:04,180
And I don't have a whole lot
of information about this game.

396
00:19:04,180 --> 00:19:05,510
STUDENT: Plays like Dominion.

397
00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:06,135
PROFESSOR: Yes.

398
00:19:06,135 --> 00:19:08,959
STUDENT: [INAUDIBLE]
the cards are out.

399
00:19:08,959 --> 00:19:11,000
[? We ?] build your deck
just like it's Dominion.

400
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,746
And when you do attacks
and certain things,

401
00:19:14,746 --> 00:19:19,706
you have cards that represent
a thing that you can use

402
00:19:19,706 --> 00:19:21,205
and then dice that
are reflecting

403
00:19:21,205 --> 00:19:23,630
the [INAUDIBLE] card.

404
00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:26,600
PROFESSOR: So, like a lot of
other deck building games,

405
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,295
you know, [INAUDIBLE] conquer.

406
00:19:29,295 --> 00:19:31,500
Often, when you're
actually going into a game,

407
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:37,040
[? what you're seeing ?] is not
quite what [INAUDIBLE] before

408
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,757
in previous games.

409
00:19:38,757 --> 00:19:40,340
So every time, you're
trying to, like,

410
00:19:40,340 --> 00:19:42,450
figure out what is
[INAUDIBLE] momentum.

411
00:19:42,450 --> 00:19:44,750
What is the strategy for
this particular round

412
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:45,630
that I'm playing?

413
00:19:45,630 --> 00:19:47,754
[INAUDIBLE] just happens
to be an interesting twist

414
00:19:47,754 --> 00:19:52,124
on that [INAUDIBLE] cards.

415
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:57,060
And Settlers of Catan, it seems
like an odd thing to bring up.

416
00:19:57,060 --> 00:20:01,990
But back when it first came out,
it was kind of neat that it was

417
00:20:01,990 --> 00:20:05,750
one of the games that definitely
popularized the whole idea that

418
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:09,120
every time you played this game,
you had [INAUDIBLE] because you

419
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:12,410
have the hexes that are arranged
[? by the water ?] and systems

420
00:20:12,410 --> 00:20:19,280
to be able to make a random map,
[? into a ?] table no matter

421
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,960
how it's arranged.

422
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,285
And you're playing a different
scenario in the game.

423
00:20:25,285 --> 00:20:26,910
So we also had the
Seafarers expansion.

424
00:20:26,910 --> 00:20:29,070
That's kind of like
the traditional way

425
00:20:29,070 --> 00:20:30,636
that publishers
[INAUDIBLE], right?

426
00:20:30,636 --> 00:20:33,693
They give you all
the parts and maybe

427
00:20:33,693 --> 00:20:36,610
a new set of rules to be
able to add to an existing

428
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:38,483
set of pieces on the board.

429
00:20:38,483 --> 00:20:41,024
What happens is that the map is
a lot larger, as you can see,

430
00:20:41,024 --> 00:20:43,484
because you have
additional cards.

431
00:20:43,484 --> 00:20:45,944
Actually, I don't know
anything [INAUDIBLE].

432
00:20:45,944 --> 00:20:47,630
But [INAUDIBLE] larger.

433
00:20:47,630 --> 00:20:49,995
Users [INAUDIBLE]
then the old ones.

434
00:20:49,995 --> 00:20:52,420
Gives you a few new
pieces, new rules,

435
00:20:52,420 --> 00:20:54,720
and you're playing [INAUDIBLE].

436
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,780
So this one might also be-- and
I [? wouldn't ?] suggest just

437
00:20:57,780 --> 00:20:59,878
playing a straight out
game of Settlers of Catan

438
00:20:59,878 --> 00:21:01,750
because I know a lot
of you already have.

439
00:21:01,750 --> 00:21:04,467
But in case you
need it, [INAUDIBLE]

440
00:21:04,467 --> 00:21:06,800
especially if you haven't
played the Seafarers expansion

441
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,780
[INAUDIBLE] look through
how they present the rules

442
00:21:09,780 --> 00:21:12,840
so that knowing how
to play this game, how

443
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,600
do they introduce
new sets of rules

444
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,072
to change the way
[INAUDIBLE] played.

445
00:21:18,072 --> 00:21:20,030
RICK: Big difference for
that one with islands,

446
00:21:20,030 --> 00:21:22,270
rather than having
rows of settlements,

447
00:21:22,270 --> 00:21:28,900
you have shipping lanes that
you build that connect ports.

448
00:21:28,900 --> 00:21:31,010
PROFESSOR: Yep,
and I believe you

449
00:21:31,010 --> 00:21:33,810
don't know what's on the
island before you get there.

450
00:21:33,810 --> 00:21:35,190
RICK: Yep.

451
00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:40,787
PROFESSOR: So you don't
actually know [INAUDIBLE] island

452
00:21:40,787 --> 00:21:41,995
at the beginning of the game.

453
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,580
From the reading that--

454
00:21:47,580 --> 00:21:51,070
anything strike anyone
from the reading?

455
00:21:51,070 --> 00:21:52,840
Just wondering if--

456
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,135
STUDENT: It said that I guess
the unbalance of the game

457
00:21:55,135 --> 00:21:56,310
was the actual point.

458
00:21:56,310 --> 00:21:56,976
PROFESSOR: Yeah.

459
00:21:56,976 --> 00:22:03,140
STUDENT: And that they were
going for the feel of that

460
00:22:03,140 --> 00:22:06,075
if you find that
something is not fair,

461
00:22:06,075 --> 00:22:10,010
that you have your own unfair
power to sort of counter that

462
00:22:10,010 --> 00:22:10,510
unfairness.

463
00:22:10,510 --> 00:22:13,090
PROFESSOR: Right, everyone
has a win cheat basically,

464
00:22:13,090 --> 00:22:16,750
but it's officially mandated by
the game and the different ways

465
00:22:16,750 --> 00:22:17,890
you [INAUDIBLE]

466
00:22:17,890 --> 00:22:20,080
STUDENT: It's kind of
similar to Diplomacy,

467
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,170
which is inherently unbalanced.

468
00:22:22,170 --> 00:22:24,630
Like, [INAUDIBLE] played
several games of Diplomacy,

469
00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:26,087
[INAUDIBLE] like some of the--

470
00:22:26,087 --> 00:22:28,170
I don't remember which
countries, but some of them

471
00:22:28,170 --> 00:22:31,090
are, like, in much stronger
positions and two of them

472
00:22:31,090 --> 00:22:34,006
together can take out the
entire board if people let them.

473
00:22:34,006 --> 00:22:37,100
And so in general, more
advanced and experienced players

474
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:39,550
will not let that
happen or will all

475
00:22:39,550 --> 00:22:41,890
gang up and crush the
first one or something

476
00:22:41,890 --> 00:22:46,330
like that, which kind of makes
an interesting meta game.

477
00:22:46,330 --> 00:22:48,300
PROFESSOR: So you can
spot the patterns.

478
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:50,640
But then you also
have a lot of tools

479
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,570
to try to push back
against that once you

480
00:22:52,570 --> 00:22:54,618
know that the game [INAUDIBLE].

481
00:22:54,618 --> 00:22:56,245
STUDENT: I consider
Cosmic Encounter

482
00:22:56,245 --> 00:22:58,661
to be sort of like the version
of Munchkin in that they're

483
00:22:58,661 --> 00:23:00,730
both sort of stop the leader
games where it's literally

484
00:23:00,730 --> 00:23:03,040
everyone-- it's very easy
for almost everyone to get

485
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,115
[INAUDIBLE] to victory
and it's all about, like,

486
00:23:07,115 --> 00:23:09,628
how you [INAUDIBLE] people
are [INAUDIBLE] everyone's

487
00:23:09,628 --> 00:23:12,463
trying to [? stop her. ?] And
when [INAUDIBLE] people run out

488
00:23:12,463 --> 00:23:14,080
of stuff to stop the winner.

489
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,820
PROFESSOR: Yep, every
game comes to an end.

490
00:23:17,820 --> 00:23:20,690
I remember games of
Cosmic Encounter dragging

491
00:23:20,690 --> 00:23:22,695
on for a really
long amount of time,

492
00:23:22,695 --> 00:23:25,090
but I'm not entirely
sure that's the case

493
00:23:25,090 --> 00:23:29,160
of this particular
edition of the game.

494
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,440
STUDENT: The idea
of finding balance

495
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,010
for [INAUDIBLE] where sort of
the motto is if it's broken,

496
00:23:35,010 --> 00:23:37,760
break it until it's fixed.

497
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,800
PROFESSOR: I haven't
heard that one.

498
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,810
STUDENT: [INAUDIBLE]
basically, they

499
00:23:41,810 --> 00:23:44,448
took Super Smash Bros
Brawl and just way

500
00:23:44,448 --> 00:23:46,406
overpowered a bunch of
different people's moves

501
00:23:46,406 --> 00:23:48,614
so that you can do ridiculous
things the entire time.

502
00:23:48,614 --> 00:23:51,150
It actually ended up working
pretty well [INAUDIBLE].

503
00:23:51,150 --> 00:23:53,940
PROFESSOR: OK, yeah.

504
00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:57,476
League of Legends,
the ultra-rapid fire

505
00:23:57,476 --> 00:23:59,810
is kind of that too.

506
00:23:59,810 --> 00:24:01,655
But I think that's--

507
00:24:01,655 --> 00:24:03,780
one of the things that I
remember from the readings

508
00:24:03,780 --> 00:24:07,050
was if you have a game
where it's fun to lose,

509
00:24:07,050 --> 00:24:11,354
you've got something
really, really good there.

510
00:24:11,354 --> 00:24:13,770
They were a lot more flippant
about some of the other ways

511
00:24:13,770 --> 00:24:15,395
that you can tell
you have a good game.

512
00:24:15,395 --> 00:24:18,100
Like, you lose the
game when you have

513
00:24:18,100 --> 00:24:21,810
a divorce because your
spouse wanted the game.

514
00:24:21,810 --> 00:24:25,350
But I'm not sure how
that metric is useful.

515
00:24:29,730 --> 00:24:33,346
But some other metrics that
tell whether your game is--

516
00:24:33,346 --> 00:24:34,970
you've got something
really interesting

517
00:24:34,970 --> 00:24:36,790
as a game is that one is
the game system is actually

518
00:24:36,790 --> 00:24:39,081
continually surprising the
people who actually designed

519
00:24:39,081 --> 00:24:39,920
the game.

520
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,507
Then just every once
in a while, you just

521
00:24:42,507 --> 00:24:44,090
see something you've
never seen before

522
00:24:44,090 --> 00:24:45,423
and you're the ones who made it.

523
00:24:45,423 --> 00:24:48,110
You know you've got a really
interesting system there.

524
00:24:48,110 --> 00:24:51,110
And if people have stories
to tell about their game

525
00:24:51,110 --> 00:24:55,420
after they're done, I
think Munchkin has that.

526
00:24:55,420 --> 00:24:57,500
Cosmic Encounter
definitely has that.

527
00:24:57,500 --> 00:25:01,685
They do try to give you the
tone through the writing.

528
00:25:01,685 --> 00:25:05,057
Both games, Munchkin
and Cosmic Encounter,

529
00:25:05,057 --> 00:25:06,640
these are very
[INAUDIBLE] games where

530
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:13,100
that's a lot of verbal
humor in the text.

531
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:16,670
But I feel in the dynamic
of Cosmic Encounter,

532
00:25:16,670 --> 00:25:22,610
much like [INAUDIBLE]
earlier, that's also

533
00:25:22,610 --> 00:25:24,250
[? create an origin ?] story.

534
00:25:24,250 --> 00:25:26,250
I was like, this person
betrayed that person.

535
00:25:26,250 --> 00:25:27,960
I guess Diplomacy does that too.

536
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,440
But you don't want to tell
stories about Diplomacy

537
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,360
because there's so many
bad things associated

538
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:35,070
with that whereas what
happens in Cosmic Encounter

539
00:25:35,070 --> 00:25:36,855
is kind of hilarious usually.

540
00:25:36,855 --> 00:25:37,355
So--

541
00:25:37,355 --> 00:25:38,780
STUDENT: [INAUDIBLE]

542
00:25:38,780 --> 00:25:40,900
PROFESSOR: Yeah, and
Munchkin does that too.

543
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:42,360
So you can tell
stories about that

544
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:44,360
and say, oh, I remember
the time when, you know,

545
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:45,950
I was this close
to winning and then

546
00:25:45,950 --> 00:25:48,677
all of you [? stopped me. ?]
And then I get this power

547
00:25:48,677 --> 00:25:50,260
and then I managed
to pull myself out.

548
00:25:50,260 --> 00:25:52,290
And then this person
just came from nowhere

549
00:25:52,290 --> 00:25:53,910
and won the whole game.

550
00:25:53,910 --> 00:25:55,910
STUDENT: I used to be
competitive about Munchkin

551
00:25:55,910 --> 00:25:57,030
and I played like
two or three games.

552
00:25:57,030 --> 00:25:58,488
And I was like,
this game's a joke.

553
00:25:58,488 --> 00:25:59,670
Like--

554
00:25:59,670 --> 00:26:01,910
PROFESSOR: It's one
long running joke, yeah.

555
00:26:01,910 --> 00:26:04,280
STUDENT: So there's a role
or a class, something like

556
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,297
[? the Beef, ?] where you
can roll a die-- actually,

557
00:26:07,297 --> 00:26:08,838
even better is the
one where you just

558
00:26:08,838 --> 00:26:10,564
take people's shit all day.

559
00:26:10,564 --> 00:26:12,230
Like, I had a friend
who like literally,

560
00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:13,771
every time, he was
just like rolled--

561
00:26:13,771 --> 00:26:15,794
like, keep going downhill
until he was level one

562
00:26:15,794 --> 00:26:17,210
and just keep
taking people's shit

563
00:26:17,210 --> 00:26:19,440
and it's just like, OK, man.

564
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,690
You clearly don't want to win.

565
00:26:20,690 --> 00:26:22,439
All you're doing is
trolling me right now.

566
00:26:22,439 --> 00:26:23,900
PROFESSOR: Right, right.

567
00:26:23,900 --> 00:26:26,685
It's supposed to be a situation
of what a role playing

568
00:26:26,685 --> 00:26:29,680
group actually does when
they're getting together,

569
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,270
not how a role playing
game actually works.

570
00:26:33,270 --> 00:26:41,600
OK, so I think [INAUDIBLE]
with playing these games now,

571
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,730
I'm going to guess
about an hour.

572
00:26:43,730 --> 00:26:48,230
Again, I would not suggest this
with Risk Legacy for playing,

573
00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:50,430
but you are definitely
welcome to take a look at it.

574
00:26:50,430 --> 00:26:52,013
The rest of the
games, go right ahead.

575
00:26:52,013 --> 00:26:56,030
And probably,
[INAUDIBLE] hopefully,

576
00:26:56,030 --> 00:26:58,970
the [INAUDIBLE]
at least one hour,

577
00:26:58,970 --> 00:27:01,590
possibly 1 and 1/2 hours for
you to work in your teams

578
00:27:01,590 --> 00:27:03,494
for the second half of class.

579
00:27:03,494 --> 00:27:03,994
Cool?

580
00:27:03,994 --> 00:27:04,494
Yeah.

581
00:27:04,494 --> 00:27:07,227
STUDENT: Are we
[INAUDIBLE] then?

582
00:27:07,227 --> 00:27:08,810
PROFESSOR: Yes,
[INAUDIBLE] on Monday.

583
00:27:08,810 --> 00:27:10,780
Sorry, did I say Wednesday?

584
00:27:10,780 --> 00:27:12,150
STUDENT: I don't remember.

585
00:27:12,150 --> 00:27:13,580
PROFESSOR: OK, all right.

586
00:27:13,580 --> 00:27:17,930
Yeah, Monday-- Monday is the
day where we go outside and get

587
00:27:17,930 --> 00:27:21,217
ready to play Joust, which means
wear comfortable shoes and--

588
00:27:21,217 --> 00:27:22,300
STUDENT: It's [INAUDIBLE].

589
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:24,340
PROFESSOR: And hopefully
it'll get warmer.

590
00:27:24,340 --> 00:27:31,640
[INAUDIBLE] because outdoors is
usually too noisy [INAUDIBLE].

591
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,150
All right, so [INAUDIBLE]
