After having had a group discussion most of the group members decided to stick with the game board theme 'Tribes people' and decided to add 'cowboys' which I was a bit disappointed about. I thought that myself and a few other people had some really good ideas but they pretty much got brushed to one side. I also think the theme is a bit out dated which was also pointed out by one of the tutors. Even though board games aren't really played that much nowadays I still believe children and adults would relate better to a more modern day theme.
The group did all agree that the art style should be slightly cartoonistic to create a board game; not taking itself too seriously. Even though I really liked the idea of having an open board which you would not need to use dice, the majority of the team preferred a board with different paths you could take using dice.
The concept
The boards working title at the minute is 'Totems and towers.' The objective of the game is to collect either totem pieces if you playing a tribal person, or a defensive tower if you are playing a cowboy. Once you have collected all of the pieces you require, you then have to make your way to save a 'damsel in distress.' You have to be the first player to get back to the start first in order to win.
