The Magic CircleBoard Game2024
in Collaboration with Hrishita Acharya, Francesca Golden, and Catherine Huang
The Magic Circle is a collaborative board game designed to help people practice communal problem solving. Playing as a group of magical woodland creatures trapped in an ancient cave, you must work together to escape before its complete collapse!
Playtest photos from November, 2024The game set up is comprised of a modular, hexagonaal board, custom meeples, a deck of illustrated action and role cards, and diceEach player has a unique set of objectives, which are tracked as “prophecies”To prototype the game’s mechanics in the early stages, we used handwritten color coded papersOnce the rules of the game started to sollidify, we transitioned to printed cards, their function distinguished by different bordersFor public playtest, we refined the language of the instructions and incorperated colorful character illsutrations to enrich the game world
