Using recycled and sustainable material wood material to produce the board game, the board game will may last longer than most board games that are made from thick card board and buckram. As the board game box is the product itself, it can store the board game components without having to use extra materials which can save on excess packaging and landfill pileup. Like existing wooden chess boards, the board game is more durable and can last a long time. It can be kept in good condition overtime when it is kept in its sleeve and taken with care. The game cannot ever get old as there is always options to buy new cards either in-store or using the app, it will always be current and it means that the consumer would not have to keep buying the same board game when the cards run out.
From the feedback, it seems that people do think that the board game is unique and that the rules makes sense for them to want to try it out.
The board game was not shortlisted, the feedback from RSA was ‘Attention to the central focus of the brief was lacking. While a difficult and emerging concept to incorporate, the judges wanted to see more explicit attention paid to the circular design component of the challenge. Many entries showed an awareness of sustainability, but a limited number showed full attentiveness to the lifecycle of their products beyond the manufacturing stage. The judges would also have liked to see better commercial awareness of how products might be produced, sold and developed within a crowded field.’
Although it was disappointing, I thought I had considered the sustainability of the material where the board game would be produced using recycled local pine and timber. The reason why I had chosen to use wood is because of the durability and the longevity it can withstand which may last a lifetime.
The use of the app, I thought would also further minimise environmental impact as it would reduce the amount of card that would have to be printed and sold commercially.
The extra challenge and questions cards could be bought separately instead of having to buy a new full board game every time the players ran out of cards.
I had considered the box for storage when no longer wanted as a game or that the user can remove the board game design and recycle the wood material.
The logo and the name of the board game was appropriate as it resembles the concept and the nature of the board game which shows that it is direct and obvious.
The colour scheme, alongside the wooden box was considered to suit the timeless quality as

the wooden box. The colours are neutral so that they would endurable overtime with the box.
I understand however, I was unable to completely source eco-friendly and sustainable stock, materials and production methods but it has been considered if it would ever be mass produced and sold to the public.
The process of the designing and the making of the board game was very time consuming as everything that was produced was made from nothing. I used the wood workshop to get the box and counters made for the board game. I had issues with the printing of the actual board game design as the stock thatI originally wanted to use wasn’t available. It had printed but it turned out wrong and it was the last piece of that stock. Instead, the board had to be printed on standard stock and laminated.
When the board game design was being glued onto the wood, the lamination lifted and it causes air bubbles in the design but I couldn’t do anything after that as it was already stuck down.
The whole process of the board game deign was very stressful but I am glad about the outcome of the game. I have tried the game as it does seem to work but the printing for instance could have been better. It was valuable to be able to do product design as it could potentially be another area to specialise in as I did enjoy it and somewhat am knowledgeable about it.
