Boardgame Shenanigans
Hey
The last few days we have been working with our board game. We wanted aesthetics to be “intense” or “tension”. Like if you would sit around a table and play poker with guns at your sides.

Pure physical player skill would be the preference.
We took a lot of inspiration from Jungle […]

The changing of the board
I’m working on designing a board game for the course Advanced game design at Uppsala university. Our aesthetic goal was to feel hunted/and or like a hunter. We knew we wanted a common goal or object to obtain in order for there to be a chase.
After going back and forth about our movement system we decided that the first system with movement cards had the best modular possibilities. With a range from one to five and with at most five […]

The results
So this week we’ve been developing an alpha prototype of our game.
You play as an evil wizard in his tower, or as heroes who tries to kill him. The wizard has a deck of cards that allows him to summon minions or traps or cast spells.
They all cost “mana” and the wizards mana is decided by a mana-wheel which is placed in the center of the board, this wheel also represent the wizards tower.
