custom board game

concept

This project turned out to be quite a bit of work, but it was an incredible amount of fun. There was extreme detail for every piece of the game, and everything had to maintain the look and feel of a real Ticket to Ride board game. The routes went from Havana to Camagüey, which was the hometown of my client's family.

I researched several Ticket to Ride games to have an authentic feel for every element. All train routes are the exact specs for each track, including colors and icons inside of the tracks as well as the outer design which determines that specific track's playability. I designed all printed pieces while my client handled the mechanics of the board routes and point system to ensure it would play as a "real" Ticket to Ride game. Artwork was sourced from Shutterstock. For printing, I sourced an independent prototype game shop and coordinated all printing.

*Board game was not sold—only made for personal use.
