Brief 2: RSA Fair Play - Board game ideas

The idea was is to create an engaging, intellectually stimulating game that challenges players to test their knowledge and understanding of different themes.The versatility of the board game makes it suitable for any occasion whether that is at school, with family or as a drinking game with friends; the concept of the board game stays the same but the questions and cards differ depending on the players age and their chosen theme.

The idea is to have 4 separate challenge cards: Forfeit, Truth, Compliment and Fact and separate question cards that they need to answer correctly before receiving a challenge card.

The board game allows players to test their knowledge on a diverse range of themes and learn along the way with the ‘Question’ and ‘Fact’ cards. If the player answers the ‘Question’ card correctly, they are subjected to 4 possible outcomes; they may have to nominate a fellow player to answer a ‘Truth’ question or complete a ‘Forfeit’, read out a ‘Fact’ or receive a ‘Compliment’ from each player regarding what is written onthe card.The winner of the game is the first player to receive 10 chance cards which means they would have to had answered 10 questions correctly.

The board game will be designed in a standard board game format as players would easily recognise it from existing board games in the market. This layout will be useful for people of all ages as they would be able to play with ease.

Each landing on the board game will be colour-coded to a card so whichever a player lands on, they will have that card if they answer the question correctly.

To make the game last longer and be more challenging to win, on each corner (4) there will be a 'Pass' where the player will not be able to question, therefore no card.
