New board game shows how hard conservation can be by Lannah Parker
In this new board game you are playing to save the habitats and the species living their its a fun game but very hard to win. Everyone playing gets a role (zoologist, philanthropist, lobbyist, environmental lawyer or TV wildlife show host) you all have to work together to convince at least 4 of the ambassadors to save a species if not all 4 ambassadors agree or if your animal population dies then everyone loses the game. The game is a lot more complicated to win compared to your traditional board game, you have to learn as you play and understand conservation in order to know what to do to win.
This game is a great way to teach younger kids or anyone who is first learning about conservation, as you play the game you continue to learn about how conservation works in order to win the game. The game is also teaching how you have to work together to get anything done, a scientist on their own is not powerful enough to save a whole species but when a scientist comes together with others they use each other's thoughts and ideas to accomplish their goal.

ReplyDeleteI would play the game but I would probably get too frustrated and not play it again. - Steven Solomon
ReplyDeleteI would play this game. I think learning and games is a good idea because it allows people to learn and have fun at the same time. I think with a couple games of practice I could win, but I would definitely need some games to figure out the strategy.-Kevin Gu

ReplyDeleteI think by putting learning and the game together; there is a greater chance that kids would learn about endangered animals. I do not know if the information would stick or if people would learn from the game. I do think it is a new fun, and creativity way of teaching about conservation

i would play the game for the environments. -Ryan Carter
ReplyDeleteI would play this game, because I really enjoy difficult games overall. I think if done well, learning in a game can be helpful, but often people forget the 'game' portion when designing such a game.
ReplyDeleteI would play this game, it is a great way to have fun while learning about how the environment works.
ReplyDeleteI think this game is a good way to spread awareness of the challenge of conservation for endangered species.

I would play this game and dominate, no cap.
ReplyDeleteI would play this game and when you put learning with a game it could make people more interested in a certain topic and want to learn more plus they are becoming more aware of the topic.-John
ReplyDeleteSo it seems to me that this board game is to teach about conservation also to learn and help the environment because the board game itself is hard, so it must also be hard in real life.-Takia McMorris
ReplyDeletei think this is a good way to teach younger kids about the environment -sophia
ReplyDeleteI think a board game is a great way to introduce a complicated topic to younger kids. Bringing awareness to the issue at an early age is a great way to influence coming generations to have a better impact on the environment than previous generations! -Kendall Dees
ReplyDeleteWould I play this game? No, I wouldn't. Why? Because it doesn't sound fun to me. In video games, I want action, death, and a high skill ceiling so i can do it effectively. In board games, I don't want to be sitting around protecting animals I don't particularly care about. In a board game that I would even consider playing, would have to be fast paced, the ability to take other out of the game(im toxic, so what?), and lastly I want some type of economy. This game might be fun to other people, but all my triggerhappy, fps brian wouldn't care for it at all.
