What to look at… Why that counter / card / instruction etc Materials Construction & sizes Finishes How parts attach together How could that fit into your game (sketches or notes)
JUSTIFY
What to do… Counters - Why that counter, materials, construction & sizes, finishes (if relevant), how parts attach together (if relevant), how could that fit into your game (sketches or notes) Cards - Why that card, materials, construction & sizes, finishes, how parts attach together (if relevant), how could that fit into your game (sketches or notes) Instructions – Why those instructions, materials, construction & sizes, finishes, how parts attach together (if relevant), how could that fit into your game (sketches or notes) Box net - sketch a net you like, explain it (tabs, extra sides etc – more secure joints, aesthetics, rigidity) Inserts / trays - Why that tray, materials, construction & sizes, how parts attach together (if relevant), how could that fit into your game (sketches or notes) Board construction - sketch and label materials, justify choice (card is rigid, fabric covers the grey board – aesthetics) Board graphics – label the photo, explain why you like the layout, how you could adjust it for your game Box graphics – label all of the parts, explain why you need them, materials and processes, finishes, how might you change it for your game?
Materials and Processes Counters (photo) – injection moulding / ABS or HIPs Cards (photo) – 100gsm paper, offset lithography, laminating or encapsulation OR 200-400 micron card, gravure, spray varnish or coated card Instructions (photo) – same as cards Box net (sketch) – 800 micron card, die cut Inserts / trays (photo) – HIPs, vaccum formed Board construction (sketch) – 2000 micron card, board backing fabric Graphics – board (photo) - same as cards Graphics – box (photo) – gravure, duplex card, spray varnish or coated card
