This project want to study the possibility of using
Switch Screen to evolve the concept of board game
Switch Screen to evolve the concept of board game
Players sit around the Switch Screen, interacting with the Touchscreen
and a device, integrated through the implementation of Bluetooth technology,
in order to increase the number of interactions to the games
and add a system of information which only a single Player can know,
Each Player participates the common game, which exists on the Switch Screen,
through a personal Screen, such as a tablet (or a smartphone)

Inscetoid Planet
A turn-based rpg where biometal insectoids
fight to gain control of the resources of the alien planet

Players sit around the Switch Screen, which represents the game board.
Each Player manages his own colony using the Switch Screen Touchscreen and his own Tablet
The first Player who reaches 10 points wins the game

Player's score is calculated based on six minor variables
Each variable has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum of 3. When a particular requirement is met, the variable takes the corresponding value |

Before the start of the game each Player receives three missions
whose goal, randomly generated, is unknown to other Players.
A Mission is generated by combining different types of Objective and game elements

Example :
There are collectibles resources, that appear randomly on the field, called Meteor.
There is never more than one Meteor on the map at the same time.
After a Player take a Meteor, another appears on the map
You can spend Meteors to upgrade game items

Player Section
(05x10) This Section is the only one not randomly generated. This portion of map is only visible on the corresponding Player's Tablet, or on a Tablet of a Player in Invasion mode |
There are different types of Territorial Elements, each with different characteristics
STANDARD - This territory has no particular characteristics
