The key takeaways are that the board game involves moving pieces around a board to reach home while drawing cards that can have positive or negative effects, including dares that must be completed.

The game is intended for teenagers and young adults, with the goal of including fairly wacky dares that won't be too much while still being fun.

Each player uses 7 pawns of one color placed at start. Players take turns rolling and moving, which can involve bumping others or completing card dares. The end zones provide protection from bumping. The goal is to get all pawns home first.

Overview of the Game:

“Board Game” is a board game is a game where players move their three or four pieces

around the board, attempting to get all of their pieces home before any other player. As

you play the game you might land on one of the colored spots where you have to draw

one of the cards from the middle. These cards can contain dares that the player has to

enact out, if the player refuses to go through with the dare then they get punished in game

for this. “Board Game” is a great time for teenagers and guaranteed to get a laugh out of

you.

Audience:

The game is intended for teenagers and young adults but I could definitely see some

adults having fun with this too. The reasoning for this is because of the dares the game

makes you do fairly wacky while not being too much for teens or younger adults. For the

amount of players that there can be, you can have 2-4 players at a time. Of course we

recommend having 4 players to have the maximum amount of fun while playing the

game.

Planning/Making of the Game:

First, what we did was come up with the concept for the game and what we wanted to do

was add dares to the game. So we took the fairly filmler concept of Sorry! and made dare

applicable to the game, so we came up with the rules of the game then started making the

physical game. We first started to make the box for the game and probably spent way too

much time on it, but we got it exactly how we wanted it. After this we started to write out

some ideas of what some of the dares that we wanted and sketching out the game itself.

How to Play:

Each player chooses 7 pawns of one color and places them in their Start. One player is

selected to play first. To begin the game, all of a player's four pawns are restricted to

Start; a player can only move them out onto the rest of the board if he or she rolls a 6,

then places a pawn on the space directly outside of start. If the player is in the middle of

the game and rolls a 6 then they can choose if they want to move a pawn out of the start

or move 10 spaces. A pawn can jump over any other pawn during its move. However,

two pawns cannot occupy the same square; a pawn that lands on a square occupied by

another player's pawn "bumps" that pawn back to its own Start. Players can not bump

their own pawns back to Start; if the only way to complete a move would result in a

player bumping their own. The last five squares before each player's Home are "Safety

Zones. Access is limited to pawns of the same color. Pawns inside the Safety Zones are

immune to being bumped by opponents' pawns or being switched with opponents' pawns.

However, if a pawn is forced to move backward out of the Safety Zone, it is no longer

considered "safe" and may be bumped by or switched with opponents' pawns as usual

until it re-enters the Safety Zone. pawn, the player's pawns remain in place and the player

loses their turn. When going around the board you might land on a green or red spot. If

you land on a green spot you draw a green card, which has positive effects for your

pawns in the game. You can also land on a red spot where you draw a red card, which

often has a negative effect on your pawns or you have to do a dare. If one doesn’t

complete the dare their pawn moves 12 spaces back.
