“HERO’S JOURNEY” is a fantasy themed adventure board game where players have a chance to play their favorite characters in epic quests and battles in the road towards becoming the most powerful Hero of all times.

 

 

 

               For our board game the three main design goals we have in mind are:

 

1.     Game Board that tells an actual story progression and gives the players several path choices.

2.     Thematic play centered on a Fantasy World and an unconventional Hero Journey.

3.     Relatively simple to understand and easy to start game play.

 

 With these in mind we hope to achieve a game that brings players the fun of immersion, competition and power.

 

 

 

 

 

   Our ideal target market has the following characteristics:

 

·      Ages 10-16;

·      Enjoys casual board games;

·      Likes the fantasy theme;

 

 

- We are creating a fantasy adventure board game, where players take the role of a young villager who leaves his village in search of adventure and to become a Hero.

- First the players choose one of the 6 available classes, each with their own special ability. After that players start playing in turns taking a card from the Game Cards deck to see how many squares they can move and what happens.

- In certain points during the game a player will reach a branching path in the Board, where he must choose which way he will take towards becoming a Hero. Each path has its own characteristic; it may be longer or shorter, easier or deadlier, filled with riches or traps. It’s up to each player to choose his own path according to the strategy he wishes to use.

- Once everyone reaches the end where they become Heroes, the player with the most number of Power Tokens, wins the game.

 

Our game mechanic functions in such a way that every time one plays the game a one plays the game he will have different outcomes. By using cards to move and determine what happens to the player every game is different because the cards are taken in a random fashion, and they tell the player what actually happens in that space. However at the same time the board has laid out key plot moments and path choices, and these determine the flow of the player’s story.
