Task · part of 1. Four games analysed, and four kinds of play value
1(a). Analyse four games, each from a different medium
Required Often forgotten
Medium, player format, objectives, rules, resources and theme for each, then discuss the play experience, what you enjoy and what you dislike, and make a chart comparing them. Four DIFFERENT media: a board game, a card game, a video game and a playground game would do it.
Notes and warnings
Note. FOUR DIFFERENT MEDIA, not four different games. A board game, a card game, a video game and a playground or sports game would satisfy it; four video games would not. Choosing them widely also makes the comparison chart worth making.
