Board Game "Gorod" / Настольная игра "Город"

      When it comes to picking the best board game for the evening, people divide into two camps. Some say: "Let's play Mafia!". And others violently protest: "No, Monopoly!" But what if the best of mafia and monopoly were combined in one game?

GAME CONCEPT
     Many years have passed since the mayor's chair was empty. The deceased old man left the Gorod city to be torn apart by the mafia, bandits, gangs and corrupt police officers. Now the right to take possession of his riches can go to anyone who is cunning and prudent enough to fool the rest of the pretenders.
     You and your friends are going to gather around you the most diverse inhabitants of the City, and each has a unique talent. Raise your money, take your opponents out of the game, and most importantly, remember that you do not have to always tell the truth. Mislead, bluff, take risks. Do everything to be the last survivor in this city full of surprises.


Logo - Two letters "o" turned into a frown, determined look, which every inhabitant of the City has. Letters - elusive, defiant - are harmoniously complemented by the face of the Everyman (Obivatel’ in Russian). The Everyman’s hidden face, the question mark, and the fluidity of the letters create tension and movement that describes the atmosphere of the game.

Character Design - Characted are not "boxed" into game cards as usual. They occupy the entire space of the map or may suddenly appear from around the corner, like the Mafia or the Maniac.

Currency - There is a plot reference on the currency - the deceased mayor with a "good memory" from the inhabitants of the City - vindictively crossed out eyes. A QR-code is embedded in the design of the currency, it leads to a video instruction for the game.

Blue! - Bright, tense, not leaving you indifferent. Exudes strength, and at the same time it hides, maintaining elusiveness.

Minimalism - Now most of the boards on sale are designed "complicated", with traced details, in a realistic style. Therefore, your look can’t stop on any box and initially you can’t choose one box to examine it. Minimalism and bright blue work together perfectly on this box - this box grabs attention and invites you to explore it around a bunch of detailed boxes in muted colors



I really enjoyed working on the project, researching the problem, picking, and refining every visual move. The game concept author and I effectively brainstormed and selected the most suitable solutions.
