Syd and Macky reached out to me to create the illustrations and visual system for the game. They had already been working on a prototype and sent me a playable version so I could understand the game mechanics firsthand.

My work focused on creating a visual language that communicated gameplay meaning quickly and intuitively. Color, shape, icons, and hierarchy were essential in helping players recognize skill levels and actions at a glance.

Each icon was designed to reflect a specific skill or game action. Colors were chosen to be both meaningful (aligned with common visual cues) and visually engaging. Repeating the icons and colors throughout the tiles developed a cohesive “gameplay language” that made the experience more intuitive.

We considered a more decorative tile design but ultimately opted for a simpler, bolder approach that better supported clarity and quick recognition during play.

The original 4-fold board caused issues during printing, which I was unable to catch before release.

Players found some player cards too cluttered, so I simplified the wording and increased spacing for better readability.

Some players struggled to see where to move their game pieces, so the path was more clearly defined in the second edition.

The “Actions” section was often overlooked, so I added a solid white background to improve visibility.

Players reported that the art enhanced their play experience, adding to the fun and immersion of the game.
