An empathic board game
Conception and design of an analog company game including instructions and packaging. Functionality, dexterity, intelligence, strategy and fun are in the foreground.
Compassion is a didactic game about factory farming, fur farms, fishing and experimental laboratories. Compassion is metaphorically what it takes to win the game.
Looking back, the process is especially exciting. The first ideas were very detailed, illustrative and cute. Despite this might be ideal for children, it did not fit the concept of conveying serious information.
The packaging concept does not correspond to the usual format. The game instructions form the envelope of the game, the cards are arranged in a clever folding mechanism. No space is wasted, everything fits seamlessly into each other.
The game combines the classic elements of a quiz game with those of a board game. This includes game pieces, dice and event cards. 240 questions revolve around the topic of "animals in captivity".
