Mountain of Madness is a cooperated board game based on the well-known novel, at the Mountain of Madness. In this game, players will use their tools to solve the incoming quests in order to get the treasure from the top of the mountain. However, life is not easy as it looks like. Strange things will appear on the way.
In this project, I was in charge of the user experience design and user testing, focusing on smoothening the design process and design clean but engaging content.

Brainstorming
We listed out all the ideas that came across, listed them down, used notepad to spread the ideas out, linked relative elements together, then chose the combination we thought best possibly worked.
Prototyping
After we had a draft idea, we started to use different materials to see which will be the best fit. It is a short process, however, the decision will lead the outcome tremendously. Based on the idea and the theme of the novel, we ended up choosing Grid Tiles with Poker as the core material in the game.
