# Ups & Downs ## Overview My goal with this project was to create a perhaps more interesting version of the board game: *LIFE: Twists & Turns*. The latter is fun as a social one, but there's not much strategy to speak of, and the rewards and penalties that you get from the LIFE cards can swing the game wildly. If I remember correctly, there's a card that gives the current player $900,000 in one draw. Since all assets, family milestones, and money get turned into LIFE points at the end of the game to determine the winner, the randomness of the cards that are drawn greatly affect who will win. I thought I might be able to do something a little more involved as far as strategy goes, but, of course, it ended up taking way longer than expected. I have the 3D model finished along with the hardware preparation, but the software has a bit to go yet. Technically, the game is playable, but I have a lot of ideas for things I'd like to add or enhance.
