 - Key Asset: the data object attached to the Reset Button key asset can stores all of the game play information including current players, player turn status, and game status.
 - World: the data object attached to the world will store the key asset id of each dropped scene indexed by `dropSceneId`. This allows world builders the option of dropping just the key asset and clicking Reset for the first time to build the board OR dropping the entire board as a prebuilt scene removing the need to click Reset to build the board for the first time.
