Introduction:

This game's concept is aspired by the life of people in America, who a lot may start their life difficulty with a low economic situation. They are then trying hard to improve their life by setting a high goal then put all afford to achieve it. 

In this game, the players will start with a basic vehicle - a bicycle, then each round they finish, their vehicle will upgrade to motorbike and then car. The goal of the game is to reach Las Vegas while driving a car to prove their society level.  On their way,   the players may get some obstacles as well as help base on the luckiness of them.

Experiences:

Although the first stereotype impression of this kind of  board-game is that it should be very easy to make. However, it is not that just piece of cake.

After finishing the rough draft of the game, the game test produces some errors. For instance, the elements were put as such when the player reach a  stop that has to move back 3 cells, the cell that he/she moves back to also is a element that requires moving back again. 

Also, it is not easy to think out the elements of the game based on the set theme.

Future development:

If this game was made into digital game, what will it be?

At first, all will be converted into auto mode, such as moving your vehicle back or forward, as well as rolling the dice.

The elements may design to animated ones and also moving background or something similar.

And also, more element should be added in order to increase the game's attractiveness.
