3rd Week Updates

We have decided to change the name of our game to "Hold Your Breath!". We found this to be an appropriate title due to the nature of our game. Our maze idea seems to be working well and we are now incorporating our obstacles and pearls onto the board. Our rules are also seeing progress , we have decided that die rolls will determine how many corners you may turn in the maze.

Our board design

This a a rough draft of our new board made in photoshop. It is a custom maze from http://www.xefer.com/maze-generator.

pearls pearls pearls

object of the game: The first scuba diver to finish (back to the boat) with the greatest number of pearls collected wins; consists of survival, race to the finish, and collecting.

Each scuba diver only has a certain amount of oxygen throughout the game. if the scuba diver runs out of oxygen, then they "die" and must go back to start and loose all the pearls that were collected.

Each player gets a string to string their collected pearls on. The player moves by rolling dice and must pick up a card on each piece to determine the fate of that run.

- Lose Oxygen Bar(s)

- Get a pearl back

- Lose a pearl

- Move Back a space

- Hit a rip current and must switch spots with the player furthest from you on the game board

Some of the cards will have a scenario that contains a positive and negative outcome. To determine the scuba diver's fate, the player will roll the die and if an even number is rolled then the positive outcome occurs and if an odd number is rolled then the negative outcome occurs.
