25-04-12 - Graphopoly Presentation

Today I had to present my board game resource that I have been working on alongside with Vic as part of our managing and developing resources unit. We decided to produce a classic spin on the well know board game Monopoly and introduce some educational and creative features. During the Easter holidays I became slightly obsessed with the idea and let it run away with me.

By the time time I got back to work and discussed the presentational strategy with Vic I had produced a full board, money, a rule book and even gone to the trouble of refurbishing an old toy box. All hours and hard graft put aside I did not expect no where near the reaction I received with with my peers and especially my tutor Shirley absolutely loving it! and after a 30 minute game the smiles and excitement still remained. I am over the moon with the reaction and it has really motivated me with recognizing what me and Vic have achieved.

I would definitely consider taking this forward and fixing some of the initial design faults that were discovered through playing. watch this space! you never know where "Graphopoly" could go.below are some live action shots.
