1. How do we make our game different enough from Monopoly?
This is an important question to answer because people won’t be drawn to our game if it is too similar to an existing, well established game. We will make sure we include unique elements in our prototype to answer this question. My guess is that the gambling aspect will make it stand out enough.
2. What will the average runtime of the game be?
This is an important question to answer because a game that is too long might end up being too boring to finish and a game that is too short might feel rushed. To answer this question, we will make sure the prototype has all elements essential to gameplay (but the design may not be fully fleshed out) so that we can do a practice round. My guess is that it will have a similar runtime to Monopoly: about 1-2 hours.
3. How will we implement the gambling element?
This is an important question to answer because gambling is what makes our game unique. To answer this question, we will make sure our prototype includes the gambling aspect. My guess is that players will land on a square that gives them the chance to gamble.
