Emerging print and media technologies, namely printed electronics and augmented reality, could provide a board and card gaming experience that would draw in gamers who typically play digital games. The expected outcomes of the literature research, industry and market surveys, and subsequent paper are an understanding of the history of games, the current state of the game manufacturing and publishing industry, and attitudes of gamers who would be playing games embedded with the emerging technologies.

I encourage you to discuss ideas with other students but your work product should solely be your own. When a written response is appropriate, note that scholarly writing includes citations to primary sources, terse style, appropriate vocabulary and tone, and proper English style. The writing center and my office hours are great resources to improve your writing. “Read” and “Play” material has no specific deadline, but should be done close to that day so that we have a common base for discussion. For games, spend at least two hours in actual gameplay, and try to play with other students in the class. Having played a game (i.e., a social and intellectual activity) with someone will help you to know if you can work together effectively on a project. Unless explicitly noted, you are welcome to play a game on a different (equivalent) platform or with your own copy instead of using the library resource. If you make a reasonable attempt to play a game and it is not available, then you can substitute a different game listed on the course web page. -
