For my 3rd project I read the Great Gatsby and designed a board-game that is rigged for you to fail because in the novel Gatsby tries his entire life to get a life with Daisy yet fails inevitably. I try to capture this with the mechanics of my board game. I designed it intentionally to give the player immense success at the start of the game and through-out until they lose everything through 1 moment, giving them a crushing feeling of defeat. Unfortunately I can’t show my board game here, but it will be in Mrs. Vandertoorn’s room for play.
