Creating the Game Board

Today I started creating the game board and finishing it with the template that I got from researching a site called the Game Crafter. This site would make the game for me by paying them, so I used the template they had to make the board.

Creating the Board Game Idea

Today I created the board game idea that I wanted to make. I wanted the game to have an end where the players have to reach. So I thought of how people would be going around the board along with some places that could either mess up the people, or help them. Then I started thinking about the cards that would be used, the categories I wanted to use, and what would make people get a certain category. A rough design of the card was also created.
