STARDUST

During my final year at OCADU, I created a 2-4 player strategy boardgame in which players would collect resources, build empires, and battle their friends in space-based gameplay. I workshopped play sessions that helped me shape the direction and focus as I worked on the project.

For the final iteration, I used 3D printing and laser cutting techniques to create the physical game board and pieces.

It incorporated a novel design element in which a larger piece around the outside shifted around the inner piece after each round, simulating planetary orbits. This created an interesting perspective shift and often disrupted or opened up new strategies during gameplay.
