This is a concept for a board game design inspired by my little sister when she was in middle school. Survivor: Middle School Edition is a brand new game made for young girls. Influenced by the concepts of ‘Chutes and Ladders’ and ‘Life’, this game functions by players moving forward and backward across the board based on good and bad events that could take place in the life of a young female. Travel through life as a middle school girl, advancing through grades 6th, 7th and 8th with the goal of reaching high school. Experience some typical struggles and achievements of the average ‘tween’ girl while learning lessons and having fun along the way. The game uses a simple illustrative style with bright colors and modern, inventive characters, and would be constructed mainly of paper with the exception of the plastic character stands and die. All illustrations were created by hand and colored in Photoshop. This game would serve as part of a series, functioning as the middle school edition with other versions being available for younger and older girls as well. Ideal for a sleepover with a group of girls, Survivor: Middle School Edition promises endless nights of giggly fun and games.
