The driving force we are focusing on is survival. In our game survival is shown through deadly weather and animals.        ]]> 2019-04-03 17:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348197731 stephen_franco https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348209772 The way to win in our game is the player that has the most population wins.]]> 2019-04-03 17:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348209772 stephen_franco https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348210660 One of Darwin's four principles of evolution is survival of the fittest. Survival of the fittest refers to the organism that has the best adaptations to thrive in its environment. These organisms will survive and pass on their traits to future generations. Animals all over the world are surviving by eating and reproducing. In the snowy mountains animals such as a wolf have thick fur and big paws to move run fast in snow. This principle inspired us to make a board game named Survival. In this game, the player is a new species of an animal, trying to survive against harsh weather conditions. I can pick what type of animal I am.  You can be a carnivore, herbivore, or an scavenger.  The weather conditions can go from nothing to extreme weather such as a sand storm. You can survive these by using adaptations you get from a card you pick up . For example if your animal is adapted to the forest and you have to travel through the snowy mountains, you can get a thick fur adaptation that helps you stay warm. You can gain population by making it back to your environment]]> 2019-04-03 17:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348210660 stephen_franco https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348211296

You start with 10 population

Pick your type of species(carnivore, herbivore, scavenger)

The carnivore is the red animal, the herbivore is the purple animal, and the scavenger is the orange animal(only three people can be the same species)

Pick your environment(only one person at an environment)

Place your pawn at your start in your environment

Oldest person rolls first

Whatever number you rolled on the dice is how many spaces you move forward 

You move where the arrow on your start is pointing 

If you land on a tile that has a -1 population you lose a population

If you land on a tile that has a +1 you gain a population

If you land on a tile says “move 3 spaces back”, you move 3 spaces backwords

If you land on a “grab an attribute” tile you grab a card from your species deck(carnivore deck, herbivore deck, and scavenger deck)

To win you must make it back to your start/habitat(you must get the exact number to make it)

Ex: if you need two more spaces to make it back to start, you must roll a two

When you land back on your start/habitat 1st you add 4 to your population, if you get second you add 3 to your population, if you get 3rd you add 2 to your population, and if you get 4th you add 1 to your population

The goal of the game is trying to make it across the map with your animal without losing population. There will be obstacles that I have to get through to win the game. The obstacles are other animals and harsh environments with little storms and dangerous storms. There are also cards with different abilities and skills such as speed and thick fur . The game will be hard but if I play it right then I could win the game.]]> 2019-04-04 12:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348488092 stephen_franco https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348490336 Have you ever wondered how animals survive in their environment? Well we have the game for you.  Survival is a game where the goal is to reproduce to save your species from being extinct.  You will have to travel through harsh environments to make it back to your own habitat. Our game was inspired by one of Darwin's four principles, survival of the fittest. This game is educational because it involves how animals survive in real life environments, so while people are having fun playing our game, they also can learn how animals survive day to day life. We made our game for 2-4 players ages 8 and up. We plan the game to run for only about 30 minutes. We also believe our game can be used by educators to make teaching part of evolution engaging. We want to thank you for your time and hope you will consider publishing our game.]]> 2019-04-04 12:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348490336 teaghan_rockenstire https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348610476 Our  game is divided into 4  parts. In each corner there is a start. From the start you move in the direction the arrows point and do as the space tells you to do.  Each environment is drawn as realistic as possible.  Our pawns are dinosaurs.   ]]> 2019-04-04 16:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348610476 teaghan_rockenstire https://padlet.com/kendryek_flynn/8yqk6q07e8i1/wish/348905189 Our pawns are dinosaurs.
