Week X: Visual Experiment, on the way to final thesis

I have finalized that I want to create a board-game that made people realize the suffer of people from this government those only care about their benefit and will do everything to prevent their benefits and power loss.

I came up with this. The origin idea is from “Snake Ladder” game but this game has no snake, no dice but cards. Players have to draw a movement card to see how many steps they can go, if they land on the black spot, they have to draw a penalty card to see how many steps they have to go back or if they have to go the start point or if they it is game over. All the players are in the same side and if one of them finally lands on the finishing point, the game finishes.

Basically, I designed this game to have no winner. The players will suffer, angry and tired of playing this game to reflect on the suffer today in politics situation in Thailand because since 6 October 1979, people never won over the government. The movement cards are movements those activists has done before for examples, setting event, protest, post articles on Facebook and so on. For the penalty cards, there will be penalty that government has been using against people and activist for examples, sending soldiers to their home, kidnaping, 112 laws and other unfair laws.

For the next step, I will gather all the laws government has been used to people from politics situation, all the movement from people and design the cards. For the board, I will develop and see if I can make it better.
