All of these projects can be tweaked, adapted, or changed based on your personality and interests. These are all just starters.
Research the process, styles, the methods of construction & planning, measuring, sketching, coloring, printing, coding, etc. and create or redesign your game with your own unique twist. Practice and record your practice for each step of the process that leads to the final project.
Board & Card Game Projects
Existing Board or Card Game BoxFind a complex board or card game that you like that has been remade (Star Wars Monopoly) or a game that has been given a new box (the wooden monopoly or clue in the pictures). Research the creators and the process they went through to redesign the game. Analyze and reverse engineer the new game design: what techniques are being used (eg. story writing, story boarding, planning, design, color schemes, carving etc.)? redesign the game: create a new box out of wood, metal, plastic, etc. Create new pieces, cards, rules, etc. in a different style. Like the example below, create a wooden box for a Monopoly game. Print the rules and cards out on parchment, create new pieces more relevant to medieval times, etc. Design the box/container and layout inside while still keeping the original game in tact.
