5. The Game UCSCopoly is a spin off of the well known game Monopoly. Supports 2–4 players.

6. The Game (Cont.) The object of our Monopoly is to play as students instead of real estate moguls, and acquire the courses necessary to complete one of three majors: CS, CE, or ISM. In an effort to curb the boredom the students will have to overcome obstacles and run risks similar to those faced by us every quarter, from Jobs and Relationships to Vacations and Parties, Easy Tests to All Nighters.

7. The Game (Cont.) The students will roll dice in an effort to circumscribe the board. Each side of the board will represent one quarter at UCSC. Each corner will mean a trip to Hahn student services where they will obtain the financial aid award necessary to enroll in classes.

8. Possible Project Risks Game Complexity –Many rules to implement –Lots of special cases to worry about 3-D Graphics A group of 3

9. Estimated Project Complexity Networking will be as simple and basic as can be. The game itself will involve a lot of code, as there are many states. The graphics will be difficult to implement
