Details:
For this project you will be beginning to explore board games in preparation for our first genre unit, mystery, in which you will be charged with creating
your own board game (more details will follow in the future.) The goal of this initial RAFT project is to explore and learn more about the history of board
games, what is included in different games and gain general knowledge of all the different varieties of board games. These projects will serve as a great
jumping off point and prepare you to begin thinking about your own board game while you read your mystery genre book.
