  3. Game Objectives

  4. Game Objectives • A game objective is what a player is trying to achieve in order to win. • Consider these questions • What are some of the objectives of games you have played? • What are the players trying to do? • How do you win? • These are questions a designer asks about a game objective.

  5. Game Objectives Examples • Clue: Be the first player to deduce who, where, and how a murder was committed

  6. Game Objectives Examples • Battleship: Be the first player to sink all five of your opponent’s battleships

  7. Game Objectives Examples • Connect Four: Be the first player to place four units in a contiguous line on the playing grid

  8. Game Objectives Examples Chess: Checkmate your opponent’s king (cannot move without being captured)

  16. Game Objective: Race • Reach a goal – physical or conceptual – before the other players. • Examples could be a footrace, a board game like Uncle Wiggly or Parcheesi. • Can be determined by physical dexterity. • Can also be determined by a mix of strategy and chance – like Backgammon.

  17. Game Objective: Race • Examples include Backgammon, Gran Turismo, and Sorry

  18. Game Objective: Alignment • Arrange game pieces in a certain configuration or create conceptual alignment between categories of pieces. • Often puzzle-like because they require “solving” spatial or organizational problems. • Determined by: • Logic and calculation • Chance opportunity

  19. Game Objective: Alignment • Examples include Tic-Tac-Toe, Bejeweled, Solitaire, Connect Four, and Tetris

  26. Game Objective: Exploration • The object in an exploration game is to explore game areas – usually combined with a competitive objective. • Sometimes multiple objectives such as exploration, puzzle solving, and combat intertwine to form multifaceted gameplay.

  27. Game Objective: Exploration • Examples include Zelda and EverQuest

  28. Game Objective: Solution • The object in a solution game is to solve a problem or puzzle before the competition.

  29. Game Objective: Solution • Examples include Sudoku and Clue
