Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional casino games are offered, then players can play familiar games with established rules, but player interest and engagement decrease over time due to lack of innovation
Solution Approach 1:
The game is segmented into distinct phases: initial card distribution, hand formation phase where players create multiple potential hands, designation phase where players assign labels to hands, and evaluation phase where hands are ranked and compared. This segmentation allows for innovative gameplay while maintaining clear, manageable rules for each phase.
Solution Approach 2:
The game introduces dynamic elements through the hand formation and designation process, where players can strategically assign different designations to their hands based on anticipated outcomes. The wild cards also introduce dynamic variability to hand rankings, creating an adaptable game experience that maintains player engagement.
2Adaptability or versatility
If games with complex rules are introduced to increase engagement, then player interest may improve, but ease of operation decreases making the game harder to play
Solution Approach 1:
Players perform preliminary actions by forming multiple hands and assigning designations before the final evaluation. This preliminary organization of hands with designations simplifies the subsequent comparison and ranking process, making the game easier to operate despite the added strategic depth.
Solution Approach 2:
The game system automatically evaluates hand rankings and determines winners based on the designations players have assigned, reducing the need for complex manual rule interpretation. The system self-services the evaluation process, maintaining simplicity while enabling sophisticated gameplay features.
3Ease of operation
If standard poker rules are used, then the game is easy to understand, but winning odds are not attractive compared to other casino games
Solution Approach 1:
The game modifies traditional poker parameters by introducing multiple hand designations per player and incorporating wild cards with special rules. These parameter changes create new strategic dimensions and alter the probability distribution of winning hands, potentially improving winning odds while maintaining poker's familiar framework for ease of understanding.
Solution Approach 2:
The game maintains universal appeal by preserving core poker elements that players already understand, while adding multi-functional features such as multiple hand designations and wild cards that serve various strategic purposes. This allows the game to function both as a familiar poker variant and as a novel engagement experience.
