GAME DESIGN
As a fan of the comic book characters, I always wanted to do a game based on my favorite characters. The board game design project was my opportunity to do it. As seen in the images, the prototype consisted of a drawing of a board game and regular playing cards with character names and locations written on it. After playtesting a lot, the game has gone through multiple iterations to become what it is now. The new game board can be seen beside this text. The GDD and Rulebook consists of all the Game Design rules and my creative thinking process.
