Hello everyone. We made progress for our new board game! Unlike other posts, this week, however, does not have any pictures. Because Jasper, Jeffrey and I were gaining new information, either videos or websites on internet, and typing new ideas in this document.

Instead of just thinking every single rule ourselves, we tried to find some resources that actually gave us basic understanding of “real baseball board game.” Remember, WE DID NOT COPY.
Here are some websites we used

Although we found some useful websites, we only used little parts they suggested. For example, the video uses two dices and shows all possible combinations, but we used three dices because we wanted to create greater possibility for single. The way we defined different kinds of hits or outs were easier, but three dices created 216 combinations. In addition to that, we added special deck, which enables players to change their fate!
I learned that this board game would be harder than last one since it requires greater efforts. I decided that things we will create should be beautiful, not just acceptable. However, despite the great efforts, I enjoyed doing this because baseball is almost equivalent to my life, and expressing my excitement by making board game is really creative and fabulous.
My group was kind of delayed because of some unexpected incidents(I always forgot to bring materials.) Therefore, we must start and work hard on making ideas into reality next week. The first step for making a board game is always the instruction board and the special cards deck. Therefore, I expect that we can at least finish the instruction board and most of special cards next week. Furthermore, I hope that before winter vacation, we are able to finish special cards, instruction board, scoreboard, as well as some combinations of dices. According to our timeline, we only have two months to do, including winter vacation, so my group has to be efficient.
This is the first time I experienced setbacks- delayed work. That was all my fault, since I did not bring materials on last Friday. We will be chasing the timeline for whole month, if necessary. Fortunately, that can be fixed by working harder than before. This is a warning of laziness, which tells me to work efficiently and accurately. In addition to that, I will inform my teammates that we have to do work rapidly because of this.
For communication with my teammates, they are all kind and thoughtful. They listened to what I thought, and always provided useful ideas. They are really good, and it is a pleasure to work with them, especially doing my favourite sport- baseball.
Lastly, THANK YOU FOR READING THIS POST AND KNOWING WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED!!
