Game of Life: ALPHA version



For my project the Game Of Life, I started collecting information. I did this by making 6  questions.
First I wanted to make some kind of installation out of the answers people gave, but I decided to make a board game.

the rules, action cards, characters, texts, etc.etc. are based on the answers. (I Will explain more about it in an upcoming post)

The game will be a combination of life and gaming. For example, in this game, you play with an Energy Bar (which represents a Health Bar).
There is a certain hierarchy that also finds a place in life and it is not about killing each other, it's not about winning, it's about survival.
You can win of course. By surviving.

There will be things like singleplayer and multiplayer, which are action cards with certain games, which you can play single- or multiplayer.
But also characters that help others are seen as multiplayer.

Characters will have different skills and a little Lore about themselves. The characters are based on the people that gave answers to the questions.
Right now there are 5 different skills a character could have. The max skills on 1 character are 3, but it can be less.
The current skills are:
  • Creative
  • Agility
  • Support
  • Analyzer
  • Deceiver

Characters all start in a different position, Characters bring difficulties with them, you have easy, medium, hard and expert characters. They all start on a different place on the board and start with a different amount of energy, the difficulty is based on their answer on the last question. This will affect their starting point, energy, and skills.

Action cards are based on game genres:
  • Adventure
  • Puzzle
  • Racing
  • Strategic

Below you can see some examples of character cards, the board: Pre-Alpha v0.01, some actions from action cards

I have my concept and still need to do a lot of fine-tuning to the rules, but now I'm gonna focus on the design of the game.
Typography, imagery, shapes, and material
