BOARD GAMES
Art Complex
Art Complex is a polished board game that addresses a focused area of innovation—art school. ‘Art Complex’ was created to educate kids about the lifestyle and the tools that one masters within each major.
Power Pyramid
Power Pyramid was created as a simple and easy way for players to better understand the variety of food products within each category on the food pyramid. Using the simplicity of pairing colors of triangles together, Power Pyramid emphasizes the importance of understanding the necessity of a balanced, varied diet by depicting food groups. Food groups include fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy product and other proteins, including meat, fish, beans, nuts and eggs enabling the player to distinguish the healthier foods and food categories from processed "unhealthy" foods.
The Hidden Treasure
The hidden Treasure addresses the following prompt: create a game based off an existing story. Creating a game based off a story helps a child better understand what the plot of the story is and the moral reasoning behind it. This form of game design is used as a visual aid. Visual aids are crucial aspects to learning environments, especially for those who are visual learners. Based off The Hidden Treasure, an existing public domain IP, I crafted a game with play mechanics and rule systems inspired by and appropriate to that story line.
Power Pyramid
Food Famine was created to educate kids about nutrition through a narrative. The premise is that 98 percent of earths’ food crops have depleted and the players are the last ones left to save mankind. Each player goes through a ‘food galaxy’ and collects ‘food stars’ (nutrition points) and strives to obtain the healthiest food stars in order to survive the longest when they return to earth.
