Description
This interactive demonstration will showcase the social deduction card game Wardens Way. This card game was created for our final in EH 252: Introduction to Game Studies. In Warden’s Way, each player has a role card designated as a prisoner or a prison guard, with the game master being the warden. The goal of the game is for the prison guards to confiscate all the “contraband” cards from the prisoners, putting those with such in “the hole”, eliminating them in the process. Two prisoner roles have their own special win conditions as well. Along with the demo, we will discuss the process of our game’s development and how what we learned during the course helped shape it into a working prototype to be tested in hobby shops everywhere.
