Alice in Wonderland Board game

Alice in Wonderland board game uses characters from the book/ film as counters. The game also includes cards that corresponds to sections on the board, and illustrations relating to the story.

The colour scheme is mainly the primary colours, however in this context the colours do not look childish, instead they suit the game well and look understated. The overall appearance of the game is professional and classy, and could be sold as a high end game.

North Pole party people game

We came across this board game and loved the limited colour scheme and illustrative additions. The Christmas themed illustrations add to the fun, festive game and the way some of them are placed over the board makes the game less flat. The stand up counters for players to move around the board with makes the interaction with the game more fun and personal.

The packaging for the game is also interesting as it is not in a box which would keep costs down and saves space. This game is printed in large scale and folded down into a cellophane envelope, which is stapled at the top along with the name of the game. We loved this way of packaging as it would be easier to replicate and would save a lot of time instead of designing a box for the game.
