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.
