Game Changer

After deep introspection and selfless evaluation of our skills and interests, Danielle and I decided that creating a website was not for us. Therefore we decided to revisit one of our initial ideas and make a card game instead.

Our initial name for the game was "Assassin" which was based on one of the elements found in play, however, the game itself is primarily a resource trading, money making theme. I think it might be more functional to have a name which reflects the overall premise instead.

Some names that I have come up with are:

Factor
Mogul
Merchant
Trader
Tycoon

Factor and Mogul are my two favorites.

Please make suggestions. We welcome your opinions and thoughts.

We could make different themes for the game.

There could be an Anatolia theme where all the items for trade are based off of items frequently traded in Mesopotamia.

And another based off current military where they trade things like ammunition, guns, armor, tanks and what not.


It could just be called

Commerce
because that is what the game is based with.

I like the idea of different things, however we should stay with just one theme (too much effort otherwise.)

Commerce
Factor
Mogul

I am more partial to Factor or Mogul because the goal of the game is to amass a large amount of wealth in order to win. But Commerce is good because it describes the theme of the game. I will do a quick survey of the class and let you know what people think.
