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.
