The Design

About Client Vs Designers 棋盤遊戲

「客戶對決設計師」係一款雙人棋盤遊戲，靈感嚟自客戶同設計師之間嘅對立關係。呢個設計借鑑咗傳統遊戲鬥獸棋，將佢嘅結構改編成充滿趣味嘅形式。雙方陣營嘅主要職位都以插畫呈現，並賦予唔同嘅等級，令兩位玩家可以互相較量、以強制弱。雙方常見嘅挫敗位就化身成陷阱。棋子採用切割成形嘅透明亞加力膠製造，並以絲網印刷印上插畫。棋盤就以金屬色印喺紙上，令人聯想起原版遊戲嘅風格。

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
