Play tester 1
We play tested our game with an undergraduate female student named Sonny. After explaining the rules of the game to her we gave her a practice round and then began the game. She seemed a little nervous about playing the game but did get the hang of it pretty quick.
Through her playing we discovered another way someone may want to play the game. In our game as is now, when you get two matches you can look to see if you can get another match of that same color and shape.
As Sonny was playing we noticed that she would pick two matches, pick a third match that wasn't the same and then choose another trying to match the current picture. Example: I picked two oranges on the board, I then selected another card which is an apple. Instead of that turn ending I now look to see if I can get another apple.
Sonny was not playing the game as we intended, where for example: you get two oranges and if you select another orange you can continue to choose another card. If in your next turn you pick anything other then an orange, like an apple, your turn ends.
This was very interesting because we didn't anticipate someone trying to play that way. When she did attempt to play this way of course we corrected her but when we did ask her if she felt one way of play was better than the other she said she didn't even realize she had done that.
The most important feed back we got from Sonny was that she felt the bonus round should not allow you to choose different cards but just be a way to get a quick glimpse at all the cards and then go back to normal play.
Sonny also did not have a problem with new rows being added after a certain interval of time, she felt that it allowed her to get more matches since cards would always be on the board. Also she found the option of being able to choose another card after a match for a combo, a good addition to the game.
Sonny said it gave her a feeling of satisfaction when she got an extra match and also she said she felt a feeling of satisfaction when she achieved a bonus round.
