To research for this task, me and my team will conduct field research by going to shops and finding board games, taking photos of them, making notes, and investigating them to see what works well and what doesn't. We will also do product research online by looking at popular board games and playing online games to see how they translate to board games. We will also do secondary research by reading articles online.
In lesson, my group went to a toy shop and an art shop in search for materials for the board and blank dice in order to make the prototype. Online we found out that boards are made from thin chipboard, so we looked for this in the art shop. The closest we could find were these lino sheets which were too flimsy for a game board, so we decided we would get the chipboard or something similar online.
We searched for blank dice in a toy shop but only found these dice with symbols on which could work, but were too expensive. Therefore we decided to source these online too and write on them.
While we were in the toy shop we also investigated the price of board games to get an idea of what ours would retail at. We decided that we should price our game at around £5-10, considering games of this size (A3 board) were fairly small and priced similarly, and our game doesn't have many expensive to make components.
