For my final project, the prompt was to revolve around environmental concerns. After conceptualizing ways to educate a younger audience while creating a captivating experience I decided to head towards game board design.
​
The concept was inspired by the 1934 board game "Sorry!". With this concept, I created four houses- earth, air, water, and fire.
​
Each house explained an environmental crisis in that category.

Board Game Box Design
​
The final design consisted of four sides as the four categories represent - air, fire, land and water.
Details
​
The cards are also recycled by printing on top of them, while reusing the old playing pawns. The dice also came from the original board game, therefore I also revolved the mechanics of the game to be similar.
Box Structure
​
To stay on the aim for sustainability all materials used are recycled, with the main frame of the board being an original sorry! board game from when I was a kid.

​
Theme
​
The four categories were highlighted on the board with the main home base evidently corresponding to a certain element. While the outside areas served as a general space for all players.
Layout
​
The final graphics highlighted the four separate areas of the board. This helped the user get an understanding of how the game is meant to be played.
Final Design
​
The final design held the instructions, four categories of cards, pawns, dice and the board game itself.
