A Short Phrase About Your Game
Players: 1-4
Ages: 10-99
Play Time: 30 min
INTRODUCTION
You will write your social studies information text here in order to set the tone for the game. Don’t forget to cite
your sources using in-text citations!
It is also already double spaced for you.
1
GAME SUMMARY
You should have a paragraph here giving a broad overview of the game system and objectives.
GAME COMPONENTS
You will list your game components here. It might even be a bulleted list that can be found after a somewhat
short sentence that looks something like this:

Stuff

Things

More Stuff

A Blob
GAME SET-UP
Now tell everyone how to set-up the components on the game board. This might be a nice place to include
pictures if your board is overly complicated.
2
PLAYING THE GAME
Now talk people through exactly how to play the game. This is the technical writing portion of the assignment.
Make sure to be specific, yet as concise as possible. It’s a fine balancing act. If you have separate phases within a player’s
turn, you might use sub-headings like below.
Initializing Phase
This is where you initialize things like the initial value.
Upkeep Phase
This is where you keep things up.
Monkey Phase
This is where you hire a monkey to permanently sit in front of a typewriter until they have produced the complete
works of Shakespeare twice in a row. It will be very expensive to complete this portion of the game.
WINNING THE GAME
What are the conditions for winning the game? Explain that here so everyone knows when to stop playing.
Otherwise, people will just play forever and forget to eat, drink, sleep, or go to the bathroom. It will be anarchy, and not
like the utopian form either.

APPENDIX
Any extra information that would be helpful for people playing the game should be put here. That might include
strategies, tips, or examples of play.

WORKS CITED
Your works cited will go here. Remember that the first line is not indented but the second line is indented (if you need a
second line), and there is not a need for double spacing between the first and second line of a source.
I have already set the margins correctly for this to happen automatically. As long as you use this template, it should give
you the second line indent automagically.
