Week 4 - Prototype
Setting up a playable game
While Max and Matthias decide on the food and ingredients and Lavender revises the action cards, Se Win starts cutting out the hexagons from old cupboards.
Week 5 - Play Test with Prototype
1st Play Test (28 April 2022)
Test play by Max, Matthias, Lavender, Se Win (4 players)
Problems:
Without a board, it is hard to count the steps when the tile is taken. The dishes are hard to complete as too many different ingredients are required. The rules are still not solid yet, especially the trading rounds and the mechanics on action cards.
Possible Improvements:
Make a board
Revise categories (because it is imbalance)
Reduce ingredients choice /categories on the recipes
Add more actions / ingredients
Add a more detailed explanation on action card
Add more rules
Trading occurs at round 4 and every 2 round afterwards
Make a phone display which shows what u got and what more u need
Each trade has 120 seconds
Trading must be 1:1
Week 6 - Revise Game Mechanics

Week 7 - Further Improvement
2nd Play Test (9 May 2022)
Play test by Mr. Charles, Max, Matthias, Lavender and Se Win (5 players)
Mr. Charles Comments:
Action cards are important (can add 3 more)
What’s the winning situation? Score? Excitement of creating a recipe?
Is there any other way to maintain the entire game pace? At the same time, relook at how to get recipes / collect the ingredients in a faster way.
Apart from trading, is there any other thing/term that sticks to the food theme?
Wastage of food is a good idea, but how to implement it?
Try a tabletop simulator.
Interesting parts:
There's a trick or scam.
A lot of choice and decision-making
The movement gives an opportunity to create hemispheres.
There’s competitiveness to get the recipe.
Tiles:
upper side of hexagon: image of something that belongs to the ethnic group but you can’t really tell? Face? pattern? What will be the icon?
Problems:
The winning situation of points collections is not connected to the game.
