How did we choose our project?

Email communication between the team members Conducted a cut-down version of a brainstorming exercise (every team member came-up with as many project ideas as possible, based on the principle: every idea is a good idea) Then we collated all proposals and each team member scored each proposal on 5 different criteria. The proposal with the highest cumulative score has been selected as the team project

Build an edible board game of checkers

The aim of the game is that the players will eat the pieces they capture from their opponent (to make this an even better experience, a bowl of homous dip will be provided). At the completion of the game, the two players will proceed to eating the board as well). This project will not only be fun to do, it could be a very nice party trick or a nice addition for afternoon tea. It does satisfy the theme of the assignment and it is easy and cheap to make. It could even be used to encourage fussy children to eat.

How the game is built

We used a square, flat plate as a base for the game board The board itself was made of 4x4cm squares, cut out of toast. A total of 32 squares of darker toast and 32 of lighter coloured toast. All 64 squares have been glued onto the base plate using homous dip The game pieces have been cut out of dark /light toast 98 of each) using a round cutting tool made of an aluminium tube from multi- vitamins

The finished product

Ready to play (board game ready, homous dip ready, waiting for the opponent to show-up)
