Add Chance
Take a purely strategic game like chess and add an element of chance to it. How does this change
the play experience
the play experience
GAMES:
Chess
Checkers
Etc…
ADDING CHANCE:
Dice
Coin Flip
Guess a chosen number
Time element
Change the shape of the board
Music
Chess in its original form is a game of positioning and careful premeditated planning.
Add a form of variance in the form of chance and you no longer have a truly equal playing
field in the game. However perhaps there is a way to make this a good thing and could give
the game some unique unpredictability. Changing even the littlest aspects could change game
time requirements as well as bring chaos to its usually carefully timed and made decision game play.
For example forcing the player to flip a coin when capturing a piece to see if the capture is successful
would give their opponent an opportunity to make a capture in response due to the chance of them
making an incorrect guess to their coin toss.

Make it Easy.
Think about you favourite game and what would make it easy to achieve the game’s goals,
think about how the game designer used constraints to make the goal fun to pursue

M: Favourite game currently: Bungo stray dogs mayoi inu kaikitan
Since the game is very much chance already as it is, increasing drop rates would make character card
acquiring significantly easier. Same can be said if a trading system was implemented, it would be
easier to get what you want. This would cause a loss in money making though for developers.

As for gameplay if an auto play was added that allowed the correct direct attacks be used this
would also make the game goal very easy to achieve instead of a slow game play with a team
you know would beat the levels. The designers made these constraints to keep that hook of the
thrill of the gamble in the game which provides a love hate relationship with the game.

T: My favourite game at the moment would probably be Overwatch
The game has recently turned into a complicated form of paper, scissors, rock as characters have
now been created in a way where certain ones would exploit the weaknesses of the other. Because
of this it now encourages people to play a range of characters in the case their chosen character is
being targeted by another on the enemy team. The choice of characters and the fact they all have
their own unique abilities makes players of all types gravitate to a certain playstyle or role in their
team based on their interests. By giving each of these characters constraints by having them all
be weak in certain areas means the players are forced to work together and rely on their team for
challenges that their character cannot manage alone. This somewhat forced teamwork ensures the
players are all pursuing the goal of winning whilst making it fun to excel in areas their chosen
character is designed to excel in when pursuing the goal.
