Running Worker
Illustration and Table Game Design
2018.2
The rush hour is one of the daily necessities for every office worker, a crowded car, a flooded road. One day in the morning, a bad morning rush may spoil the day’s mood and reduce productivity. People on the way to work can often encounter some hapless and embarrassing things, so I was inspired.
I want to through the form of the game to illustrate all sorts of things an office worker often encounters on their way to work. I hope people can find the fine things on the way to work in the game, and will eventually have a happy mood to treat a day’s work.
Package Box
Chessman
The outer packing of the game, I use red, blue, yellow, green, purple to make a Mosaic. The combination of pure colour and solid colour makes the whole box become lively and interesting. The briefcase-style package is more appropriate for this game.
How to play?
With a separately designed score sheet, write down your every step such as reward or punishment. The sheet as a reference till the end, calculate how many scores you got and it's punishing time or rewarding time!
01
Put the box flat and open the lid of the box at the bottom of the box. When you open it, you can see that the inside is divided into about two columns.
02
There are four game integral tables, four pieces and dice on top of the chessboard.
03
Each player can choose an integral table and a chess piece he likes. The dice are thrown in turn from the first player.
04
The six sides of the dice are one, two, three, four, and two steps or four steps backwards. The player moves the chessmen according to the requirements on the dice.
05
Each player needs to record on the integral table after each move, so as to facilitate the final score statistics.
