Goblin’s Wrath
During Fall 2024 I worked with a team to create a board game that uses mechanics from tic-tac-toe and dice. This is a two player game where each player chooses if they’re goblins or knights and they play on a 4x4 board. Each turn, a player rolls two dice, and does one action for each. If a knight rolls an even they can place a piece on the board, if odd they can kill an adjacent goblin (no diagonals). If a goblin rolls an even they can place a piece on the board, if odd they can move any piece to any adjacent space. I used Krita to design the player pieces and the cover art for the game.
