Students in the Game Art & Design class used their creativity and ideas to design their own card games. After creating them, students were able to test the games out in class and play each other's creations.
One of the games, called “We've Got to Invest,” is a competitive stock market game where players make investment decisions over several rounds with the goal of finishing with the highest profit. The game is highly strategic and encourages students to think through choices related to gaining or losing money—just like real-world financial decisions.
Another game created by a student is called “To the Letter.” This is a fun social guessing game where players must guess a word without using certain letters or gestures. The game challenges players to think creatively and use descriptive language and adjectives to communicate clues.
It was great to see students bring their ideas to life and watch their classmates enjoy the games they designed.
More student-created games will be tested in class and featured soon. Stay tuned!
