In this project we designed a themed board game; Cradle to Cradle design.

Game testing, Brainstorms, more testing and improvements

Testing other board games was the first step of the project. We listed what it is that makes a game atractive to play. The second step was brainstorming on how we can interpret the Cradle to Cradle aspects into a board game.

After having a concept sketch of how the board game looks like, we proceded testing and improving the game untill it was playable.

The game

The game is about obtaining the monopoly on the field. You start a company (for example a paper company). You can stratisticly place your company on the field where are enough resources to produce paper, and sell it to the city.

You earn money by:
– Cell your products to the city

You loose money by:
– Transport costs to get your resources, to produce your products
– Transport costs to dump your waste

Investments
– Invest in another company.
– Invest in an upgrade for your company, make your company greener. This decreases your waste, and need of resources. If you have done several upgrades, your company is Cradle to Cradle. So your company doesn’t need any resources and produces no waste.
