DecidArch V2: An Improved Game to Teach Architecture Design Decision Making

We report on the use of our DecidArch game to teach software architecture design decision making in two consecutive years. We compare the support of three learning goals for the first version of the game with the second, revised version. Results show how the game has clearly improved. For the remaining issues. we suggest final improvements.
