Not Comic Con: A Board Game
Game Research
This is our research on other games that we used as inspiration for Not Comic Con.
This is the research we did on the topic of conventions.
Topic Research
A few months ago, we created a documentary about our own school's convention, UBcon. We looked back at it and kept in mind our experience from that weekend while working on our game.
Kate's Research
I read this article and a few similar ones to see what other people enjoy most about conventions, so we would know which aspects to try and implement into the game to make it as enjoyable as possible.
This article talks about the frustration and difficulty of obtaining merchandise, which gave me the idea that obtaining merchandise should be more difficult in the game. We changed the original buying system to one where players would receive random items, and get what they need based on chance.
