We are just some friends, who thought to have a good enough Board game idea, to make public. Tested the concept on our family and friends, and we're ready to move on!
Target audience is anyone really, who likes to play board games, and not just those interested in fantasy as the title would suggest. This is a fun game that has it all. It's easy to understand, you can crush some peppers under the nose of the others, and have a good laugh.
Participants should deisgn the the package and board for a board game called the Shaman's dance, as well as provide a simple "fortune card" template.
Board size: 340mm x 340mm, and is basically composed of a lake in the middle, and 3 concentric circle of fields around it.
You can find a sample image in the attachments. The scene schould be placed in a secret hidden forest hideout.
It is important, that there should be exaclty 8, 16, 32 field in each of the circles, as you can see on the attached image.
Each field has two neighbours on the next (bigger) circle, and this should be visible enough.
There must be 2 slippery fields in the inside circle! See picture!
Box size: 360mm x 360mm x 35mm.
- One-color cover wiht 7 dancing shaman figures (see attached images for shaman), each performing a different dance move.
- Aside the dance move, the figures should look similar, having differently colored visually determining piece of cloth on them.
- Since the game will be sold at a specific location, and to a specific culture these character should not look like Indians, in fact they should have white skins.
Title should apper on the cover with big fonts: Shaman's Dance
There should be another version (in our native language): Táltostánc
Sides: One of the figure from the cover, title in small version.
Fortune cards: 85mm x 55mm (about as big as a credit card)
Each card will feature a spell as written text, so the design of them can be simple but in accordance with the other elements, and it must feature a large place for text.
