Arcane Realms : A Fantasy Boardgame
Along with my classmates Julia Polster and Shike Chen, we designed a fantasy strategy-based board game called Arcane Realms. In our game, a group of new realms has just been discovered whose flora and fauna are disconnected from the Aetheric Web of magic. The Aetheric Web unites all magical beings and facilitates the presence of magic in the world. As magicians and their apprentices, players will explore these realms, gain skills, and reconnect the magical flora and fauna to the Aetheric Web, restoring harmony to these lands. Our whole team worked together to design the game mechanics, color palette, icons, and overall look of the game. The illustrations for the beings, magicians, apprentices, and location tiles were done by me. The illustrations for the familiars and all the laser cut pieces were created by Shike Chen. The rulebook, the story and writing for the game were done by Julia Polster. We all contributed towards the card layouts, testing different game mechanics and pieces.
