TAKE THE REins

By: Veron Singh, Desmond Chan, McKenzie Parkhurst, Jordan McKenzie, Lynne Yang
Course: IAT 312 Foundations of Game Design

Description: Take the Reins invites you to train your new horse companion and dive into the thrill, tension, and unpredictability of competitive racing. Build your horse from the ground up by rolling dice to assign unique stats: Speed, Strength, and Luck, which will shape every decision you’ll make on the track. Navigate the board as you race your peers, pushing ahead with smart rolls, reroutes, and risky contests. But stay sharp: event spaces can flip the outcome in an instant, and other players’ ability cards can boost, sabotage, or completely shift your position. Strategy, timing, and a bit of luck are all part of claiming victory!
