 Title of game: Starstruck

Audience: The game is for ages 12 and up (you must have adequate or average amount of knowledge based upon music, both modern and old). The number of players ranges from 2 to 6. The game targets audience members that have an interest or love for theatrical productions, movies, and acting. One must be equipped with enough knowledge about current movies (the focus will be on modern day film, 20th century and 21st century). The game can be played against two players, but it is recommended that two pairs go against each other (this intensifies the competition and fun).  The targeted gender is the female gender, although males are encouraged to participate if they wish to do so. 

Type of game: It is a board game. 

 My partner and I have decided to construct a board game based on the topic of globalization. When globalization comes to mind, a diffusion of positive as well as negative aspects emerge. Depending upon anyone's perspective, an individual may view globalization as the process of integration, leading to the interconnectedness of nations, progression of trade and communication, and expansion of ideas, knowledge and products. Unfortunately, that's not how we (my partner and I) see it. This board game is going to be designed as a wake up call, or alarming statement that targets unveiling the raw truths that hide behind the corruption of the IMF (International Monetary Fund that is the basis of any nation's fellowship in this unionized financial system). For example, the workers of underdeveloped countries (involved in globalization) are forced to work in brutal conditions, risking their health and well being all for the production of materials; each worker is paid very minimally, as opposed to the profit made in the country that sells the materials in a shop or store.

Looking into the future I foresee multiple economic problems that come hand in hand with the ever-changing climate because of our lack of generating methods or strategies soon enough, in order to ensure protection and safety from falling into the pit of devastation, hunger and under nourishment. From reading articles such as "Why Global Warming Portends A Food Crisis" written by Bryan Walsh, my mind falls into distress and I find myself overly vexed just imagining the world in the future. Change needs to start coming soon enough, or else we will never survive the next years marked by uncertainty and great strain. It's a ponderous undertaking on our governments part, but the effectiveness lies in the hands of citizens from around the world.

Even though I've seldom engaged in playing, my favorite video game of all time, would have to be Guitar Hero World Tour. I personally have an immense love for rock and roll, and take full enjoyment in rocking it out with my friends or relatives. In the end, we always have a great time trying our best to interact as a team in order to have the best possible result, but the level of excitement and fun all depends on the people and type of connection you have with them.  Here's a basic breakdown of the six elements of this particular gaming system:
