Group 3 - Project Proposal

By: Diego Licea, Lance Santos, Josh Lee, Ryan Hoang

Our target audience are people who like to play trading card games who are interested in a new platform to do so virtually. We will be creating our own trading card site for people interested in playing these kinds of virtual trading games. We might also make this site UW themed, so potentially also UW students interested in a fun experience with cards/packed themed around the UW

The goal would be for the audience to use our site as a fun, low stress game that they can passively come back to. Users would be able to log in and receive a certain amount of virtual currency every day or so, which they can either save up or use to buy card packs. Hence, users can come back every day to see if new packs are available as well as how much currency they’ve earned to use to get more cards. If we choose to make the cards UW themed, this could also be a way for users to learn about things around UW in the form of trading cards. Since we want to add a trading feature, users could also use it to interact with friends and foster community over a shared interest

We wanted to create a simple entertainment platform in the form of a TCG that catered to UW students.

We as devs want to build this site because of the popularity of similar TCG type games. We think that this is a format that many in our audience are familiar with, so making our own version with UW cards would be a fun, lightweight way to enhance the UW experience.

Imagine sitting in a lecture some day, and your friend nearby pulls a ultra rare Dubs II 2018 National Puppy Day Card. And then you buy the same pack and unfortunately you draw a common campus squirrel card. That’s the kind of thing that we are envisioning with this platform (at least for a fully-fledged version).
