Vis lang: in class process

with my board i really need to work on engaging the viewer and giving them clarity to what they are supposed to do. I need to simplify my color palette. on my cards for the back of them just use a little letter not cropped. For the box i need to keep it simple and deal with cropping. I am calling the game noise because this is the most interesting part of my game I need to think modernist with my design and contemporary with my color selection.

i am really going to work on the simplification of my game board. It needs a purpose. Why is it there? Then i need to make the rules sheet more refined and approachable. Right now the players dont want to read the rules you need to be able to scan the text and understand the rules.

All the player gather around the game board.The dealer needs to then set up the board. The message, noise, and receiver cards must be placed in their designated spots. Then the dealer must then pass out the pieces of 6x6 paper and pencils. You pass out as many sheets to each player as there are players in the game. Each player will need one piece of paper per other players involved in the game.The player to the left of the dealer goes first.

Player 1 draws from the board:

1 MESSAGE card that has a word or phrase on it,

1 RECEIVER card, this is who will receive the message

1 NOISE card that has an obstacle on it

So after player 1 has all of their cards the dealer turns over the timer and player one designs their message with the provided paper and pencil. Then pass it to whom ever was stated on the drawn receiver card. That person then becomes player 2 and they can make guesses as to what the message the sender was trying to portray. If the receiver(s) gets the correct message then that round is over and the receiver gets to keep the senders message card ( if there are more than one receiver you must keep track of your correct message guesses). The sender then receives 15 points that the dealer must record on the feed back score card.

However if the receiver(s) do not get the correct message the sender was illustrating then player 1 must pass the original message card, to the receiver(s) and they become the new sender, and must draw a new message, noise, and receiver card. If there is a group of receiver then players must come up with the idea together but only one person can illustrate it onto the paper. The dealer must flip the timer over. The designated illustrator must then take the original message and ideas from player 1 and add another layer and meaning from the new message card to the original message by combining both messages together in one illustrated message. The message must then be passed to the new receiver(s) and they must try to decode the two different messages. If the new receivers gets the correct message then round 2 is over and the receiver gets both message cards and the new sender(s) then receives 25 points that the dealer must record on the feed back score card. However if the new receivers still do not the the new combined message then the message cards are dead and the person two places to the left of the original sender from round one is up and the game begins again.

The game is over when the first player(s) collect 5 message cards. The dealer is then responsible for adding the points. Every message card collected either as individuals or as groups collected is worth 10 points, and then add it to the totals each player has collected in sender points. player with the highest score is the winner.

Sender Points

correct guess round 1............15 points

correct guess round 2.........25 points

Reciever Points

correct guess.......collect message card

wrong guess...draw a message, noise, receiver card

vis Lang: communication model friday process

after meeting with jamie here are some clarifications i have made....I will now only have message, receiver, and noise cards. Th channel option will remain consistent, and the feedback will be strictly the points your receive if you guess the message correctly. I also need to make some modifications to my model where there is a clear direction maybe with arrows or something. Also should their be spaces to move or should it be who ever gets 5 message cards first wins. I also need to start thinking of an icon system to use for my cards to not make the words feel repetitive. Also i think the board should be long and skinny

Board ideas

Game one

DOT GAME

All the players gather around the board. The dealer need to then set up the board. All the cards must be placed in the board in the designated spots. Then the dealer must pass out the feed back paper. You pass out as many sheets to each player as there are players in the game. Each player will need one piece of paper per other players involved in the game. Then you need pull out the bags for all the different elements and set them next to the board to be used when game begins. The player to the left of the dealer get to play first.

The first player now takes on the role of the SENDER. As the sender player one must draw one card from each of the different piles, message, channel, receiver, and noise. From these cards player one will know what and how they are going to try to communicate. The first card that player one must take into consideration first in the MESSAGE card. On this card Player one will receive their word or concept they are going to be trying to push through the model to their receivers. Player one then looks a the noise card. This card will specify the specific challenges or specification in which need to be enforced when constructing the message. Then player one needs to look at the CHANNEL card. This card will state what size canvas you may use to relay your message, whether it be teeny tiny or very large. The next card to add to your elements in the RECEIVER card. This card lets player one know who will be looking at their message after it is completed. This can be to left or right, or the whole group or just the girls. After the receiver makes their guesses and critique of what they see in the dot image Player one then has a chance to make some corrections and alterations. After player one has made their corrections or alterations all the other players are to guess the message the sender was trying to convey. The other players then write their answers on the feed back paper and give them to the sender. The sender then reveals the message card to the other players and the point are dealt out as followed

SENDER POINTS

1 correct guess.............5 points

2 correct guesses.........10 points

3 correct guesses........15 points

RECEIVER POINTS

correct guess..........20 points

wrong guess no points

then the player to the left of player one goes next and repeats the process. The person with the most points after all players have gone is the winner and the best communicator
