Speed Demons
Get the Prize before the Cops Catch You
DESCRIPTION & INSPIRATION
The overall concept of "Speed Demon" aligns with the theme of high-speed racing pursuits as well
as strategic maneuvering. Our interpretation of the theme revolves around the adrenaline-fueled
chase between law enforcement (cops) and escape of the daring racers, encapsulating the tension
and excitement associated with such encounters. To convey this interpretation, we designed a
team-based board game where players take on either of the two roles of Cops or Racers, each with
distinct objectives and abilities.
The system is crafted to immerse players in the thrill of the chase through dynamic gameplay
mechanics. By alternating between rolling dice and strategically navigating the game board, teams
rely on both luck and strategy to outmaneuver their opponents to achieve their respective goals.
The fundamental mechanic of the game relies on the inclusion of challenge cards which adds the
element of unpredictability, skill and especially teamwork. It requires players to think quickly
given a challenge and collaborate with their team to complete the challenges.
Furthermore, the
acquisition of special ability cards through successful completion of challenges enhances the
strategic depth of the game as well as competitivity and rivalry amongst teams. These abilities,
tailored to each team's role, enable players to gain advantages or disrupt their opponents' progress.
By integrating these elements into the game system, we aim to deliver an engaging and immersive
experience that captures the essence of high-speed pursuits and tension-filled chase-like gameplay
while promoting strategic thinking, a little luck and most importantly, teamwork.
