User Testing # 1

3 People tested out our board game today (May 26,2010).

• We kept quiet and just record the whole play session.
• Too bad we missed the chance of recording when we are interviewing the players for feedbacks.

The Players (Jason, Aveline and Elie)

Feed Backs:

We need to prepare a manual that provides the layout as well as card description.
WE NEED THAT!!! SERIOUSLY.

STATE THE OBVIOUS IN THE MOST NOTICEABLE FONTS (BOLD).
-How to start. Each player start out with 2 Metal,2 Plastic, 2 Glass.
-All Junk card in hand must be kept secret from other players.


USE EASY ENGLISH FOR USER-FRIENDLY GUIDE... WE TARGETING KIDS!!

1. Logo change ( the current logo looks like a space-ship/ alien/ sci-fi) Green = Alien, Circle thing = Space Ship)
   
   2.Rule Book Simplicity needed for easy English
   
   3.Consider Modify card to stay as it provide fun to the game
   
   4.Image of Prowler and Collector have to be more obvious. (iconic like the prototype)
   
   -Prowler is a word that not even a college student will come across.
   - so we make the image have Evil Eyes, Red evil looking eyes for Prowler to symbolize a thief because that card allows players to steal cards from other players.
   
   -Collector: I suggest make the hand bigger to show the sucking trash action.
   - Worker: Add a BIG wrench behind the worker's back
   The wrench looks something like this.: http://blogs.toolbarn.com/mattg/uploaded_images/rapidslide-wrench-748854.jpg
   
   
   +Plus point more or less
   
   1. Action and Flavour description is ok when players can differentiate them in bold fonts and italic fonts.
      
      2. Understandable images (some) Elie said: Mechanic looks like a killer.
      
      

Anyways, so far I can generally say that the minor detail makes the rule book difficult to understand.

Upload a video of them playing soon. (wait for Raymond)
No interview footage.
