The puzzle game is a short story written by Patricia D. Maida and Nicholas B Spornick. This short story explains the reasoning behind almost all detective stories. The puzzle game demonstrates how all detective stories follow a “puzzle tradition” that produce the reader with intrigue and intellectual stimulation.

These games follow many variations and rules, but will never allow you to fully comprehend who the victim, the murder, and sometimes even who the sleuth is in the story.

When I first played the game, I didn’t really have any initial strategy in mind. I just picked numbers at random to choose until getting down to the last few. I thought this game was very simple and easy to understand. One key insight I had was to cross out three marks to get rid of most of the marks. When it came down to the final three or four marks, I had to look carefully at them to see what numbers I could choose before the next person’s turn, so after their turn there would be one, two, or three marks left. For instance, if there were 5 marks left, I could cross out one, and then any number the next person picked would leave me with a number of marks I could cross out with one, two, or three crosses. This is when I realized the strategy of this game.…
Star Power is a game that simulates interaction between groups within a stratified society. The game begins with every one having equal opportunity to ascend. After the first round, the facilitator separates and labels the groups as squares, circles, and triangles. The squares represent the upper class or upper management. The circles represent the middle class or middle management. The triangles represent the lower class or laborers. In the following rounds, there is the addition of bonus points which the group needs to spend in a timely manner. From this point, things are stacked in favor of the squares. Their resources (the bag of colored chips) contain more of the high point valued chips. At a point in the game, the squares make new rules with or without input from the other groups. The rules usually help maintain the power position of the squares whether knowingly or not.…

To play connect four, you have a standing-up board with seven vertical rows of clear circles, and six horizontal rows of circles, making up a total of forty-two circles. You will also need two players, or a single person that will play as both. First, player one puts a red circle piece into one of the seven columns, and then player two puts a blue circle piece into one of the seven columns. The circle pieces will go to the lowest vacant spot on the vertical row it was selected on. You keep repeating these two steps until one player has four pieces horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. If all the circles are filled and none of them are winner patterns, than it is a tie between the players. My program will use graphics. The title screen will have three buttons, one is it play the game, the second will give instructions then loop back to the title, and the last will be “Quit”, which will exit the program. When you press “Play”, there will be a new screen that has the board, a score board that shows how many wins each player has. Once a player wins, or it is a tie, a mini screen will pop up to ask the player if he/she would like to play the game again, or return to the title screen Instead of making clear, circles, I will make a rectangle, than put the forty two circles on the rectangle. I will make the program a certain theme that I will come up with later.…
