Desert Elephant Chess - Board Game

Design Concept

The proposed product is a versatile game board that serves as both a chess and Tic-tac-toe board. Inspired by the stunning AlUla mountains, the designer have incorporated abstract shapes from the rich cultural heritage of the region into the chess pieces.
Using locally sourced materials for the chess pieces reinforces the idea of honoring AlUla's cultural heritage and its connection to the land. The primary material chosen for the board is walnut wood and textured sand paint for play pieces, which adds a touch of warmth and elegance to the design while conveying a sense of luxury and sophistication.
This approach celebrates the natural beauty and cultural richness of the region while upholding the values of sustainability and environmental responsibility. This game board is not just a game, but a masterpiece that embodies the deep connection between the culture, land, and people of AlUla, showcasing the perfect blend of nature, culture, and creativity.
