After creating the initial layout for the game I was able to develop the game rules and guidelines. A few considerations included:

  1. Multiple ways students can earn points
  2. Point variation based on problem difficulty
  3. Variety of ways students can win the game
  4. Equal opportunities for students to win regardless of academic ability

When developing this game my goal was not for the students who are the most academically gifted to win every time. My focus was on encouraging and promoting learning of the topic.

After developing the game rules, I made the playing cards. These cards were separated into three categories based on the level of difficulty. I created approximately fifty cards for each category with the explanation of the answers included on the backside.
