Study Format: Remote, consist of four tasks.

Materials: A background questionnaire, a post-session questionnaire (System Usability Scale), and a product reaction form.

Feedback: The game instruction was not clear enough. Game components were too simple. Solution: Refined game setup instruction. Added two features - “chance card” and “airport".

● To test our prototype, we conducted two rounds of user evaluations remotely. In both rounds, we sent our prepared game materials, tasks, and questionnaires to the participants.

● They were asked to perform tasks and provide feedback by completing the questionnaires. From the testing results, we found out that the game instruction was not clear enough, and the game components were too simple.

● Therefore, we decided to revise our game instructions by adding how to set up the game and dividing the rules into logical sections. For the game components, we added two features, which are “chance card” and “airport,” to make the game more playable.
