Across the Pond

In school I was tasked to create a game related to the word "Compete". I choose to embody this theme by creating a game that focuses dragonflies and their daily fight for survival. I made Across the Pond where a player's goal is to move their game pieces across a set cards and make it to the other side before their opponent.

 

After each card is landed on, it's flipped over and the effect is revealed. These effects are varied and can have a positive or negative effect on the player. Many of these effect cards are based on different real-world impacts on a dragonfly's environment like predators and weather.

​

This assignment required a physical mock up of the game. I've included pictures of the printed cards, polymer game pieces and of digital copy of the game instructions.
