Final Major Project: Heaven & Hell Board Game

CONCEPT
Heaven & Hell is a board game based on design ethics. The purpose of this game is to show Graphic Designers that having ethical ways can easily become a habit and could encourage small subconscious changes in their career. The idea of the game originated from my desire to inform other Graphic Designers about morals in design and to share my excitement about the topic with an entertaining medium. Hopefully, after playing the game they will think twice before making any unethical decisions and do the right thing.
The goal of the game is to reach Heaven with the choices the player makes. During gameplay players will be put in different situations, either by drawing a question card or a chance card, where sometimes they have to make the most ethical decision in order to move forward. 
THE BOARD
The board design was created in a way so it could lead the player towards 2 directions. The blue path leads to “Heaven” and the red one to “Hell”. The players can move along the board by rolling the dice, answering questions ethically in order to move forward or otherwise they go backwards (towards “Hell”) and also draw chance cards that can move them forward or backward. The board is mounded on cardboard and folds into four pieces. Some design marks where placed on the board as an inside joke to designers. 
THE BOX
The design of the box reminds the board design. On the top of the box the logo is displayed and on the bottom a small description of the game. The box measures 31x21cm and 5cm height and it is made of cardboard. 
THE CARDS
The card design has the board path on the back. The Question cards are red and the Chance cards are blue. Both cards can move the players backward and forward in the game. Once a player is assigned a Question card another player has to read it to him/her and according to the answer given there are assigned moves. In contrast to the Question card, the Chance card doesn’t give any options, it just states a random fact about the player and he/she moves accordingly.
