Today, we finalized our ideas that are going to be on each card, so that by next class, we can have our game cards all written out. We decided to change our idea from the first class. Instead of actually writing out the clues on each card, there will just be a description of what the player can say for that amount of points. So, for 1 point, they can give any clue they want. This provides the leisure that if a player doesn't know the movie, song, artist, or actor, they can still receive a point for the card easily. For 3 points, under a movie category, they can ONLY give actors, and for 5 points, they can ONLY give quotes. Actors and quotes WILL NOT be provided, that is where the player is to actually think of what actors and quotes are in the movie and give the clues they wish. So, for example, they can give however many actors they want that are in that movie. For lyrics, the order will go: 1 point: any clue; 3 points, saying lyrics; 5 points, hum the tune. Artists and actors cards will be similar to these layouts.

Our group also discussed what game pieces we were going to order. We searched the internet for spinners, boards, and other pieces that we found to be essential to our game. Also, we discussed what type of game board we are going to use. At first, we wanted to use a circular game board with multiple rings. After collaborating and figuring out what would work best, we found a square game board, with larger inner squares, instead of a circular board. After talking together about how long each turn will take, we decided that we need about 75 cards of each category. We also decided on a rule that if a player guesses the card correctly, they can keep going until the timer is up. By the next class, we hope to have most of our pieces and board, and most of our cards written out.
