Game Conception (cont.)  Weighing the pros and cons of each, our group went through several different board designs.  Unanimously, the group decided that a grid based game would be ideal.  A linear board deisign would make the game draw to a conclusion too quickly.  A linear game board with multiple paths would make the game overly complicated.  A grid based game would allow us the freedom to make a more open and simple game that wouldn’t end too quickly.
