Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 145mm x Length 135mm x Height 10mm
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
