For this game, we had to use the component of a an old game like chess or go. So for our game, we decided to use a card deck and transformed the card while maintaining some of their properties.
We kept the points of each card and separated them in for groups like in an original card deck. Each group contains cards numbered form 1 to 10 representing the number of points they give when placed.
To balance the cards, we decided to give them special effects that either benefit the player or handicap the opponent
