Battle for Japan - The Warring States

Just a remapping of the Robert's version, based on the even older version. Adding smaller version without the questions slide. Also added a built in dice page.

Note

When I was working in Junior High, I let the students open the powerpoint games in their tablets. Usually in Pairs, or in groups of 4, with one tablet for the game and another other for the questions.

Students usually take turns, bringing their tablet to be checked by the ALT, then returning to the play the game on the other tablet.

Depending on your situation, your mileage may vary.

      Looks great. I noticed you went with six teams. Does that mean you usually use it as a row based team game?

      I like the idea of question castles so you can pick which questions to ask. If you are ever modifying it you could put the castles on the battle screen where the big samurai is. So you don’t have to change screens so much.

      Thank you Jake. The map no longer blanks when you move way from it. I play it in pairs, but multiple pairs belong to a color faction.

      I think eventually, we'll do groups again. I added answer sheet and ninja cards.

      I usually let the play in groups of four or three. Seperate tablet for the questions. I worked at a small school and the students worked at a different pace from each other and also sometimes the lines were too long for their answer to be checked. I felt bad when a student worked hard to answer a question to be met with a "Okay, times over. Return to your group."

      I get that feeling. If I bring in an activity that the kids will enjoy I want every kid to get to participate not just the ones that are always the quickest. The quick kids are generally pretty highly motivated anyway.
