Design and Create

When inventing a board game a lot of things should be considered. Obviously you start with a basic concept, an idea. However this is not necessary. Think about Ludo. Up front you know the route you are going to take and what the requirements are to go all the way. Many games have a circular route. Though nowadays you can see more and more games that divert from that concept. New games with original routes and other ways to get to the end. As the player does not necessarily has to follow a route, he might win by achieving other aims, like e.g. getting the highest score, etc.
Every rule you invent for your board game must be documented in your folder. Name the document 'game rules'. The aspects mentioned above are merely a part of what you have to think about, there are of course many more aspects to consider.
When creating the game, you have to make a first prototype. So creative drawers or artists can join in the fun, too.
