Board Game Concept
Project Brief
A detective-style board game all about typography.
Concept
Inspired by Clue, the story is that Comic Sans has been found dead, and it’s up to the players to figure out “whodunnit.” Each character represents a specific typeface, the weapons are typographic mistakes, and the rooms are typographic applications. For example, a player could accuse Rockwell of committing the murder in Web Design with Bad Kerning. The board game is designed to look like it’s inside a graphics program like Adobe Illustrator with details like dielines, printers marks, and guidelines printed on the board and cards.
