THE BOARDGAME
AROUND A BLACK HOLE
In this project my task was to develop a working board game with all accessories: Board, crads, packaging, brochure, tokens. I chose the topic "Black Holes" because their reputation for hungrily devouring all matter around them have always fascinated me.
My personal challange was to create an aesthetically pleasing space-design. The geometric illustrations vary depending on the cards numbers an actions. The more special the action, the more detailed the design elements. The game board is intended to appear mystical and elegant and was made as a 3D model in Blender.
THE HEART OF THE GAME IS THE ROTATABLE GAME BOARD
Two orbits wrap around the black hole while the outer Orbit can be moved. To make the game look cosmic and futuristic a minimalistic design is combined with bright intense colours.
PART OF THE PROJECT IS AN 18-PAGE GAME RULES BROCHURE
NURA is made for 2-4 players from 12 years and the playing time is expected to be 30 to 90 minutes. In the outer orbit you play with cards in the inner orbit with dice.
DESIGN ELEMENTS SYMBOLIZE THE NUMBER AND FUNCTION OF THE CARDS
There are 18 different cards in the game. Orange-framed cards have special functions like TIMELAPS, WORMHOLE or STARSTORM and are therefore more elaborate illustrated.
ALL CARD, DICES AND MARBLES FLUORESCE
For a mystical space-atmosphere, the game can be played in twilight or blacklight.
