Our initial idea for our cardboard arcade game was to make a 3-in-1 game with the three games being Foosball, Pool and Table Tennis. But since we were limited in time my partner and I decided to only do 2 games, Pool and Table Tennis, and get rid of Foosball since it would've taken the most time. By getting rid of one game we had to completely redesign our game so it could be built within the time span. Also since you need a net to be able to play Table Tennis we designed the box so that the surface with the net can be unattached and put inside the box so the player can have a flat surface when playing Pool.
Present Solution
To get an idea of what to build my partner and I researched and pick out ten arcade games that we could make out of cardboard then picked the top five and made a decision matrix. Originally we had planned on doing a 3-in-1 game with the addition of Foosball so we made our annotated sketch and started building. But Foosball would've added too much time to the build considering we still had to construct the Pool and Table Tennis parts so we decided to just go with Pool and Table Tennis. My partner and I worked very well together and got everything done in the time limit and the only thing I would change would be to use a bigger box so the players could have a bigger
