🎲 The very first playtest of our InGameGration board game (working title: MosaiCity) has taken place in Latvia! 🇱🇻Although still in its prototype stage, the game already proved to be engaging, thought-provoking, and a lot of fun. Players worked together to build an inclusive city, balancing different needs while trying to uncover the hidden "baddies" among them.
The testing gave us plenty of valuable insights for improvement:
🟢 In the case of a tie vote, a simple tie-breaker (coin toss or rock-paper-scissors) would keep the game moving.
🟢 Action cards could reward players with an extra vote instead of additional money.
🟢 Character profiles should include more cultural customs and traditions to strengthen the intercultural learning experience.
🟢 The city board needs clearer district boundaries.
🟢 And one thing became very clear—our city definitely needs two bridges across the river! 🌉🌉
This is exactly why prototyping matters. Every discussion, every suggestion, and every laugh helps us create a better game.
InGameGration is a KA2 Small-Scale Partnership project in the framework of Erasmus+ programme coordinated by L’Albero Della Vita (Italy) in a partnership with FrauFam e.V. (Germany) and Miromida (Latvia). The project aims to enhance youth workers’ competencies in engaging young migrants through game-based learning and storytelling.
