Problem
There is a developmental gap with many toys and games. Some children prefer to play games that have a rigid pattern and structure, while others prefer a loose and simple approach. This can make play challenging–especially if there is an age difference between children. Children's developmental stages often manifest themselves in how they play. The objective of this design is to help bring children closer together and build a sense of community by creating a simple and versatile game that can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages.
Research
Ideation
Exploration of the different types of pieces and how they can interact with each other.
Customizable Board
The game board consists of interlocking tiles that the players use to create a unique board design every game. This also allows children to use it as a basic construction toy.
Adaptive Play
Players are able to modify the game to fit their needs. Players can make minor adjustments to the existing rules, or they can make up entirely new games of their own.
Competitive Gameplay
Players start on the tile matching their respective team colors. They then take turns placing pieces to gain control of the board. The player with the most connections to the board at the end of the game wins.
