Day Seven - Making Checkers Dramatic

Today, we were given the task of making checkers dramatic. In our group were myself, Andrew, and Joe. We did the following:

Backstory

The game of checkers is an epic battle between two warring alien clans, the Crimson Hatchets and the Blackened Souls. Each clan believes the other stole a very vital artifact from their home world, fueling the war. There is a bittersweet love between a member of the Crimson Hatchets and a member of the Blackened Souls. In the end, only one clan will have supremacy.

Special areas on the board

• The center 2 lines of the board are an asteroid field, as well as all the squares not in use.

• The “king me” lines are each clan's homeworld.

Names of pieces

• Romiette is on the Crimson Hatchets side, and Julio is on the Blackened Souls side. These are the characters involved in the bittersweet love.

• King Tesotgzlatx from the Crimson Hatchets and Overlord Ryzyzigy from the Blackened Souls.

• The remaining pieces are the military forces of each clan.

The other groups came up with ideas of world domination, clan wars, and Heaven vs Hell.
