What the active board looked like
Overview of Group Project
For a Game Design class, I teamed up with an artist who goes by @speccart on Instagram to turn a popular video game into a board game. We chose Mario Kart’s Rainbow Road as our base, combining it with Monopoly. We wanted to keep the loop easy to follow but add light punishment mechanics to keep things exciting, like a mini Mario Party.
We also made all the characters babies, just because it was cute and the artist was excited to draw them that way. I handled the game design, led playtesting on Roll20, and created the basic card layouts in Photoshop.
