As a designer, have you ever thought about a deck of cards to ideate a new and more creative concept? What if that deck was, at the same time, a board game?
Out of the Box is the perfect combination of these two components. In this section, you can find out more about the creative process behind it.
I started thinking about a concept and sketching some game ideas. I used some paper and other card decks to recreate what I had in mind. When a draft was ready, I played it with other people to understand what worked and what needed to be redefined.
Once the game started working, I wrote down the rules and defined all the cards that the board game needed. I then designed the graphic layout of the cards, the rules and the cover of the box, using Figma.
I printed everything and created a realistic prototype. The game was ready to be tested by some strangers that never heard about it. Thanks to their feedback, I had the chance to fix what was not working and design the final version of the game.
