STACK IT
The Concept:
Stack It is the fun, fast-paced word association game where players draft stackable word cards to best describe building type categories like Haunted House or Bowling Alley. Players vote on their favourite responses. The player with the most points after 3 rounds of 3 categories wins!
The Design Process
Design is design. Similar to the design processes of UX and architecture, board game design starts with research and is followed by sketches, low-fidelity mockups, player testing, better mockups, more testing, and finally a polished high-fidelity prototype before even more testing.
The Gameplay:
Players are each given a hand of 10 stackable word cards. Each card has 3 spaces for either a word or a window that reveals the word beneath it. Players will draft their favourite card of the hand and pass the remaining 9 to the player to their left. This will continue until each player has drafted 9 cards - 3 cards and 3 words for each category.
Players will then vote on which response they think best describes the chosen building type. Not allowed to vote for themselves, players will award 3 points to their favourite submission, 1 point to their second favourite, and -1 point to their least favourite. The player with the most points after 3 rounds of 3 categories wins!
