Trash City: Board Game Design

Brief

Create a resource management board game.

Problem

My team found through play testing that this board game needs to be fun, and beginner-friendly. This means having concrete goals, and manageable rules.

Solution

We created a board game where the player becomes the mayor of a city, and manages its trash recycling. The game is modeled after Rival Restaurants, but with simpler onboarding and faster gameplay, targeting players driven by competition, aesthetics, and completion.
