How should i make my homemade boardgame for reading class harder?

Question

My boardgame is a mystery game on Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch. It has Bandit cards and Horse cards that give you good things like go to house or move ahead 2 spaces or bad things like go to start or go back 2 spaces. We had a testrun in class and people said it was to short and simple. Any ideas? It is a little more complex than candy land but not by much. You follow the path, draw cards if you land on horse or bandit and you try to reach the treasure first. The peson with the best idea gets best answer!! Please help soon due on 5/15/08

Answer 1

that is a good start it's sounds like a good game try adding more dangers like a space that sends you back to start and maybe short cuts and maybe a space makes you stuck until someone rolls a 6.good luck!
