The board game is aimed at a target audience who are moving in the world of "FPS" style shooter video games and want to open up to board games. The game includes 10 different two-sided character boards with unique characters, backgrounds, and trait, health, panache, money markers. The board game include game tokens with 110 different symbols, various mission cards and a pullbag for tokens and the rulebook.
My job was complex, I was responsible for designing the graphics and illustrations for the game, including character boards, cards, tokens, box cover, packaging and rulebook editing, as well as helping to polish the game mechanics and create promotional materials.
The placement and design of icons and markers on the character sheets closely followed the rules of the game. I designed ten different double-sided character sheets for the game. Each character has different characteristics, which also differ significantly in appearance.
The game features more than 120 different player chips with various objects and rewards. Each character has a dozen associated with it, in the same colours as the character board. Each character has a different background, so it was important by design that these graphics were visually distinct from each other.
The project includes the preparation of a rulebook for the game. This is always a challenge, because you have to take into account the “board game language”, break up texts and design guide illustrations to prepare all this for printing.
