Notes on Game Play Mechanisms: Focused Goal

In most games, there is always a clear end goal that all of the players of working towards. In Risk, the goal is to wipe the rest of the teams off the map through ruthless strategy and in Pandemic, the goal is to save the world by eradicating all four diseases. Our goal is to create a board game that strenghthens and puzzles the mind by breaking all the barriers set by the average board game, and so we want our game to be open-ended so that each player can decide the direction they want the game to take.
