DAY 1

I got the images for the board of the game. There are so many I can only show a few, or else this presentation would be like 20 pages long

DAY 2

I finished my sketch and proposal, and got approved!

DAY 3

I have some foam board for the board of the board game, and I am making a Google Doc of the images to print.

DAY 4

Gimli and Gandalf came to school today! They are some of the set pieces. The Axe Chariot will be a travel vehicle in certain areas of the board that Gimli can summon. It is an add-on that you can use if you own the Gimli fun pack for LEGO Dimensions. more images on next 3 slides

some of the cards have been made!

DAY 5

ALL CARDS HAVE BEEN MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have finished making all the cards for my Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit Board Game. Some are on previous slide

I worked on my Mid-Review. You can see it on my project page (from which you are likely seeing this from)

For more info check out the "Extra Info" post

I created a board game based on the wonderful and magical book series The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. This board game relates to these series because it has the iconic characters and locations from Middle Earth. There is a split path to choose between the 2, each with every location in the correct order. The cards and locations also use images from official The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit video games, artwork, and of course the movies

When I first started thinking about this project, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are massive quests and battles against mythical creatures. So I decided to combine Candy land and Pokemon into one game based on the famous series by J.R.R. Tolkien

The best example of a technical precedent I can think of is the tutorial on Pokecardmaker.com (which is the website I used for the cards)

Here are some sketches for the board game (yes I know Mirkwood is in the wrong spot)

Here are 6 of the cards

Here is the set piece for Gandalf
