Board Game: A Pirate's Life

What is this?

This is a board game I developed in a group for my game design class. I acted as the group leader and was the primary contributor for all of the gameplay elements. We worked as a group to refine these elements through playtesting using the iterative design process. The art assets are not commercial ready yet and were not the focus of the assignment, but I do plan to clean up the visuals at a later date.

The assignment was to modify the original checkered game of life and make it our own. As a group we decided to make a pirate themed game where players move around an island looking for treasure, stealing from other players and avoiding the skeletons that inhabit the island. This game went through many iterations were we added, refined and removed features. The final ruleset and some of the changes we documented can be found below.
