Board Game Design

Board Game Design

We were tasked with producing a board game using the service BoardGamesMaker to be given as Polygon's merchandise during the Game Developers Conference (GDC '23), the biggest event for game developers

The Design Process

We wanted this unique merchandise to stand out, so we kept the name 'Polygon' and chose a bold 2D color pop art style. After receiving the gameplay specs, I designed the packaging and board, adhering to BoardGamesMaker's print requirements and the Budget per set.

I created 3D mockups with real-world scale to ensure all the pieces were correctly sized and fit together seamlessly.

Results

Despite a few substitutions on the coin pieces, everyone loved the game, and the set was a hit at the stall. We had one open box on display, and people even ended up playing it at our booth.
