Technical Research

For more research before thinking of my designs for the board game, I decided to play a variety of popular games. I played games such as Life, Monopoly, Candyland and the Barbie game. While playing, I thought about incorporating parts of each game into my nutritional game. You can see from figure below that I liked the idea of having the game around the perimeter of the board, as in Monopoly. Also, when I played Candyland, I liked having the game board colorful as well as the winding nature of the path. When I drew my board game solutions, I was able to incorporate each of these game board designs. The only difficulty I realized would be incorporating an educational aspect into the game through question cards.
