Pile Up - A Pocket Game.

In the first class of AD372, we were working in groups to design a pocket game.

In our group, Tram, Patrick, Oliver and I came up with an idea by discussion, that is, to pile up all the stuff from our pockets. In this way, we were changing our stuff in to building blocks.

Instructions 

Players: 2-5

Goal: Collect the most points!

Materials: A stable surface (you can add some challenge by using a slope!). 

     Everything in your pockets that you are willing to risk.

Setup: Players place all donated pocket items to a central “pot” and sit in a circle.  

Rules:

1. The player who donates the most items goes first;(or the player with the “best” item in a tie)

-The starting player selects an item from the “pot” and places it on the playing surface. 

-This is setting the “foundation” piece for the pile. The starting players turn is over.  

2. Turns continue in a clockwise fashion, players select an item from the “pot” and add it to the pile. 

-When the players hands leave the item, their turn ends;

3. Play continues until any item other than the “foundation” touches the playing surface. 

-At this point the pile has “fallen” and the round ends. 

-The previous player collects all items used in the pile and claim them as points. 

-The claimed items are then removed from play.

4. Player who ended the round then places a new “foundation” to start the next round.

5. The game ends when there are no remaining items in the pot.

-Player who have got the most points wins.

-If there is a tie then the tied players share victory.
