Blue Marble

Board Game Design

Blue Marble is a board game about the relationships between an individual, their belongings, and the environment.

In starting this project, I remained focused on themes of consumerism, the environment, and the everyday. Designing a board game made the most sense, as it could capture all three in an engaging, interactive way. While designing this game, I often asked the question, “How can I connect emotionally to players? How can I help them think critically about their stuff and the impact it has?” These questions, various game drafts, and play-throughs resulted in Blue Marble.
