I learned that creativity is required to design a game. You have to think about the rules, give advantages and disadvantages to certain choices the players would make, and also about the challenges that the players will have to beat in order to win.

Board game design and computer game design are similar in very aspects. Both things involve creativity. You have to make the rules, the challenges, etc. The main difference is how you make the games. Board games are made from materials such as tokens, boards, dice, etc. A comkpuiter game is made by usijng certain computer programs and you have to pay a lot more attention to the details here than when designing board games.

I liked the design of all of them, but the ones I likeed the most were the ones of Omicron and Conquest. The rules made sense, what one player did affected the other, and every choice had its pros and cons.

Each game was fun, had challenges, and the rules were very well made. These characteristics are some that made them good games.
