%X Contemporary serious game development remains largely improvised and
haphazard. Many hindering aspects are to blame for this, including: project <span>scope, available resources, stakeholder makeup,
subject expert consultati</span>on(s), etc. Most significantly for this paper,
however, game designers typically struggle to imbue philosophical depth into
their projects. The popular trading card game ”°Magic: The Gathering”± (Wizards
of the Coast, Hasbro) offers remedies to this issue in the form of a central
nucleus: the colour pie. The purpose of this research was to investigate the
merits of the game design of MTG and to adapt it for our own use in a new card
game. A similar framework has been devised for a history-for-education trading
card game currently in development called ”°Dogs of War”± (DoW). The research has
up until this point only focused on designing DoW, but once the game is
complete, a research project will be conducted to study its efficacy. This
research reports on the extent to which tangible results (mechanically, and
otherwise) can be accrued by formulating and implementing such a philosophical
design foundation. Results include giving examples of Dogs of War and how it
was adapted from MTG.
