Reflection:

We have tried several different kind of games from last week. The only one i have enjoyed into it must be Tic-Tac-Toe final version. There has 3x3 grid first and each square has one more 3x3 grid inside. I was not like this game at first because it sounds really complicate for me. Later on, i practiced once. I understood the rule and know the goal of the game. I'm kind of get into it. It takes awhile to figure how to make decision of your X or O. I guess that is the motivation of this game. You have to make a plan of it not just think about filling 3 in a row is victory. In the beginning, i just want to have some fun with dice, because i think it is a good material for a game, but i feel like become a fans of Tic-Tac-Toe. I still want to keep it in my design game. Therefore, i decide to combine those two together in a good way. For me, i like do not like game to be too easy to win, i like do something competitive to win. I believe this kind of game always need to spend more time to have fun with. It's also good to killing the time. Another good point of my game is you have to keep thinking how to make a plan to win. It can be a good skill to gain. People always do something without think about the result. As you can see, my game only has seven rules, but you have to follow each steps and you would enjoy it.
