What I learned from Survey:
-According to my results men play more aggressively than women. The male playtester's goal was to win whereas the female's goal was defense. The two sexes had different goals.
-Players seemed to understand how to play. The coloured game board implied how the original re-make of the rules would work, however, this did not apply for my second try.
-Players said they had no qualm with playing multiple times. Although I think they were just being nice, haha. They likely would play again if need be, but not likely on their own accord.
-Players did not experience boredom, confusion or frustration. Part of which, as I understand, is because the gameplay was so quick.
-The male seemed indifferent towards the look of the game, but the female seemed quite pleased with the colours!
