教育型桌遊之設計：以台灣保育動物為主題

Design of Educational Board Game - Based on the Theme of Taiwan Conservation Animals

桌遊不僅是一種休閒娛樂活動，更是一個能啟發思考、促進互動、培養技能的媒介。隨著人們對環境保護與生物多樣性的重視日漸提高，本組成員期望透過開發一款以保育動物為主題的桌遊，藉此引發大眾對台灣保育動物(包括瀕臨絕種、珍貴稀有及其他保育等三大類)的關注。這款桌遊經評估後，發現「矮人礦坑」在各方面(遊戲概念、規則設計、遊戲方法)非常適合做為開發模板，於是在成員努力不懈之下，「台灣保育動物」桌遊應運而生。遊戲測試結果顯示：玩家們表現出極大的興趣及參與度，對桌遊中的保育動物主題給予高度評價，並在遊戲中展現積極的互動與討論，且表現出對保育動物的興趣與好奇心。遊戲體驗方面，玩家們普遍反映遊戲具有趣味性和教育性，能同時提供娛樂與知識學習的機會，也對遊戲中的角色扮演與互動感到滿意。

Board games are not just a leisure activity, but also a medium that stimulates critical thinking, promotes interaction, and cultivates skills. As people's awareness of environmental protection and biodiversity increases, our team aims to develop a board game with the theme of wildlife conservation, hoping to raise public awareness of Taiwanese conservation animals, including endangered species, rare and precious species, and other protected categories. After evaluating various aspects such as game concept, rule design, and gameplay, we found that " Saboteur" is very suitable as a development template. With the relentless efforts of our team members, the "Taiwan Conservation Animals" board game was created. The results of game testing showed that players exhibited great interest and engagement, highly praised the conservation animal theme in the game, and actively interacted and discussed during gameplay, demonstrating a keen interest and curiosity in conservation animals. In terms of gaming experience, players generally reflected that the game is both entertaining and educational, providing opportunities for both entertainment and knowledge learning, and expressing satisfaction with the role-playing and interaction in the game.
