For the gaming task we were asked to recreate the game Battleships but with new aspects added to make it more interesting. I decided to make the grids larger (20×20) instead of the usual 10×10. One of the rules I added to the game was that money tokens can be awarded, e.g, for each ship sank, players will earn 5 tokens.
If a player has 20 tokens they can use these to shoot down one ship at once, so that they are closer to winning the game. I also added a new aspect with is the cannon piece. A cannon is worth 45 tokens and can be shot anywhere into the opposite player’s grid, taking up a radius of 5 squares.
I think the new aspects and rules I added to the game make it more interesting and exciting for players than the traditional Battleships game as there are more challenges.
