PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Bacterian Conquest is a board game developed as part of an academic project. This project aimed to design a board game based on an intellectual property previously created by my team during the course.
In Bacterian Conquest, players must develop strategies and evolve their bacterial troops to defeat the enemy squad and emerge victorious.
The game combines elements of chess with the combat dynamics of classic card games, where the characters' statistics determine the winner.
GAME REFENCES
Yu-Gi-Oh!: To infuse our game with action and strategic depth, we drew inspiration from the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game's stat system. By assigning unique stats to each troop, we aimed to give them distinct personalities, adding layers of strategy and making each move more impactful.
Chess: Chess served as a key inspiration for our movement mechanics. In chess, each piece has its unique movement pattern, making the game dynamic and allowing for diverse strategies to achieve victory. As a team, we wanted to infuse our game with similar dynamism, but in a way that could shorten gameplay and keep it engaging. This led us to introduce the MOV stat on the Evolution Board, enabling players to modify their troops' movement patterns and add strategic depth to the game.
