Title

Wildpath: A board game exploring setback and visual language

Creator

Leones, George

Abstract

When a child gets early eliminated in a game, not only it loses, but it disappears from the fellowship and becomes a spectator. In my research, children and teachers described this silent disconnection as "bodies being present, but the minds are gone". This challenged me to design a game without punitive elimination, where every player, regardless of age, language or reading level can play till the end.
The answer is Wildpath, a board game where every element communicates visually. From shapes to color coding, Wildpath brings forward its own wayfinding system to younger audiences.
