This game prototype about the hardships of the Irish Great Hunger resulted from a brainstorm session organized by PreviewLabs, and was developed collaboratively with Quinnipiac University students. In the game, the player takes turns feeding a child living in 1845 and their present-day descendant. Both characters are dealt cards with food items and cures that were present during the famine.

A tactical strategy board game combined with a competitive card game including characters with battlefield augmentation abilities. Prototyped in two iterations, the prototype included 12 out of the concept’s 100+ unique cards, a dynamic music creation system, and was used by our client for pitching at the Game Developers Conference.

Brainstorm, concept and prototyping for a game in which printed playing cards can be used on the iPad’s screen to introduce animals into the game world and solve puzzles.
