Feedback from Final Review:

-Gameboard pieces showcase how one (especially a child 3-11 )can easily start to make relationships and connections on the peices themselves
-Gameboard pieces are very simple and and have executable amount of moves. You may consider keeping the head and body at the same proportion.
-Gameboard pieces can maybe three dimensional in some aspects. Definite possibility of verticality to be introduced in the game.
-Color would definitely help in determining moves and hierarchies in the game.
-Gameboard should be more than a collage, because it can help determine moves and rules in the game. Also, the boards can have a theme for every neighborhood in Los Angeles. (Helps continue the popularity of the game.)
-Gameboard could also be arrange and configured in the same spirit of the game pieces.

Indeed, it has to mentioned that, besides the recognition for the collaboration between Vince and I, the indepedent study did yield cross -learning aspects from both graphic design and architecture. Our next step is take Winter 2007 to fine tune the game and propose it to Munky King. Watch for more updates in 2007!
