The Golden Fleece Assessment

Group Project – Game board creation

You and your group will need to create a game that tests your knowledge of The Golden Fleece.

Your game must include the following:

· A rule book

· A game board

· Game pieces

· Trivia cards

Look at some of your games at home (i.e. Life, Monopoly, Candyland, Cranium, etc.) for examples of how to create your game.

Your rulebook, game board, game pieces, and trivia cards must all be original and of your own creation.

Each member of the group is responsible for coming up with at least 15 trivia cards. Each card should test different knowledge. You may use the words or concepts from the lists below to create trivia cards. You may also ask trivia questions that test a players understanding of the plot details (i.e. What did Jason lose in the river on his way to Iolcus?)
