The project is a board game themed at environmental pollution. It was learnt by reading a piece of news that because of environmental pollution, many creatures suffered hermaphrodite variation phenomenon. Therefore, I decided to undertake a research project that explores human’s evolution to hermaphroditism because of environmental pollution. I was deeply impressed by board games like Monopoly that was played during childhood. As a result, it was decided to increase the fun of the project in this way. Finally, I painted the checkerboard in the form of black and white illustration and made chessmen with paper clay. At the same time, card, folding page and other peripheral products were designed as well.

[Game Rule]: Two people play the game. Everyone has four kinds of chessmen. Through dicing, the number of steps is decided. Every grid is written with an event that decides forward or backward. When arriving at a grid can be opened, the player can unveil it and the hidden monster will stand up. At this time, more advanced chessmen should be replaced (virus→ short column people→ tall column people → slim-long people). Who reaches the destination first will be the winner.
