Week 4b

Today in class we played a game called Mangaka. The premise of the game was to create comics using different parameters which were determined by drawing cards. My group first drew the words archer, nail care, and transforming into a more powerful form. The first comic was 2 panels:

Then we drew a trend card for comedy, so we had to include all the words used before and this trend card. This time the comic was 4 panels:

For the third round, we had to use 2 trend cards and all of the theme cards as before. For this we drew  the happy ending card and one called simplicity. For the simplicity card you had to use words with no more than five letters. Unfortunately I messed up the simplicity part, so I did get the points. This comic was 6 panels:

For the last round, you had to use 4 trend cards, ours were longest word bubble, most dead people, someone yelling someones name, and revealing a villain. This was tough to do, but I managed to get it done. It was 8 panels:

I ended up winning the game. It was really fun and allowed for me to think about different ways of storytelling.
