The Design

About Client Vs Designers Permainan Papan

Client Vs Designers adalah permainan papan untuk dua pemain, terinspirasi oleh pertentangan antara klien dan desainer. Desainnya mengacu pada permainan tradisional Catur Hewan (Animal Chess) dan mengadaptasi strukturnya ke dalam format yang menyenangkan. Posisi-posisi pekerjaan utama di masing-masing pihak diilustrasikan dan diberi peringkat yang berbeda, sehingga kedua pemain dapat bertarung dan saling mengalahkan. Hal-hal yang umumnya membuat frustrasi bagi masing-masing pihak berperan sebagai jebakan. Bidak permainan terbuat dari akrilik transparan yang dipotong sesuai bentuk dan dicetak sablon dengan ilustrasi. Papan permainannya dicetak dengan warna metalik di atas kertas yang mengingatkan pada permainan aslinya.

Unique Properties: A board game that is inspired by the adversity between clients & designers. A fun experience that is relatable to all involved. With every experience, it is the foundation of a long-lasting relationship

Tags: clientvsdesigner, boardgame, traps, fun, characterillustration, relationship, adversity
Production Technology: The chess pieces use transparent acrylic cut into shape and screenprint the illustration on top. The board game paper uses similar paper that mimics the original animal chess paper for an authentic look. The graphic was printed with Pantone metallic colors.
Design Challenge: Deciding to create multiple character illustration for players to choose and select for the specific job position instead of a fixed look. This creates an extra step before playing the game.
Research: The idea originates through the inspiration of Animal Chess. We then take the essential elements from that game and translate it into relevant idea for Client vs Designers.
Inspiration: The concept originated from the game Animal Chest and it is a playful attempt to illustrate that every great relationship starts from a place of adversity. The inspiration comes from some of the key points that might frustrate each side to act as a "trap". The key job positions of each side are chosen and given different rankings to begin the battle and overpower each other.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2023 in Hong Kong and finished in December 2023.
Operation Flow: This is a board game for 2 people
