Board Games

As part of my USC Computer Science, Games Development master’s program I’ve made a lot of fun board games that went through a lot of playtesting and iteration! Check out my design, thematic, and narrative work below!

Greedy Rabbits

Overview: 3 player race to collect carrots!

Platform: Virtual Table Top

Team size: 3

My Work: I designed the board layout as well as had significant input on the core ruleset. I also designed most of the playable cards that player’s use to disrupt their opponents. I ran playtests and iterated on the design.

Three Little pigs

Overview: 4 player hidden identity set matching game

Platform: Virtual Table Top

Team size: 3

My Work: I design the core rules, wrote and designed the rulesheet, and imputed design on the layout of the board. I ran playtests and iterated on the design.

Blackbeard’s Treasure

Overview: A 2 player cooperative puzzle game where players must advance through Blackbeard’s Lost Tomb, solving puzzles, avoiding traps, and gaining as much treasure as possible!

Team Size: 3

My work: I designed the core game rules, rules presentation, the board design, several puzzles, and ran many playtests.

Prison Escape

Overview: A 2 player narrative Twine game where players work together, We Were Here style to escape a futuristic prison. Work is entirely my own.

Platform: Twine

Team: Solo project

This game was designed to evoke a deep sadness and loss in one of the players. To do so, I designed an experience where two player’s complete puzzles together, and each player must rely on the other player. Inbetween puzzles are character building moments where one of the player’s develops their character based on specific questions. This experience creates (shown in playtests) to create a collaborative bond and a connection to the fictional character. Therefore, when one character is killed, and their screen goes black, that bond is leveraged to evoke the original goal emotion of sadness and loss for the other player.

Sphinx Trap

Overview: A 4 player turn-based puzzle card game, where the players are DnD characters that must answer a Sphinx’s riddles and use their abilities before time runs out!

Platform: Virtual Table Top

Team: 3

My Work: Designed the core rules, designed and wrote the rulesheet, designed the player’s abilities.
