Once again I stumble upon a product, this time a board game. Oh! what a . Yes, we have completely forgotten the joy of sitting together with family and friends and while the hours away in a board game. It was moments such as these that brought the hearts together and taught a lot of valuable life skills, not imparted in the class rooms.
The Grid Game is a colourful board game that creates beautiful pattern as you play it. Based on the rules of Dominoes, it’s a mix between a puzzle and a strategy game that you can play alone r against up to 10 friends.
The Grid Game was designed as a game with the capacity to engage people by its aesthetics achieved by the material, shape, and colours. The chips are designed to connect cross-linked, height variations in connections help to quickly detect the right arrangement of parts, each chip has 3 sides and is made of wood of different colours types which helps immediate identification.
Estudio Victor Aleman, an industrial designer designed this game, The Grid to bring families and friends together and share and create some happy moments. His designs have been awarded with honors from the American Hardwood Export Council, the Red Dot Concept Design Award, the A + Awards from Architizer.
“For the past three years, we have been designing and playing this board game with our closest friends and doing some tournaments to test the mechanics of the game.
We have been also prototyping and developing the process of production to achieve the best quality. We experimented with different materials and processes of manufacturing, searching for the perfect material that meets our expectations in terms of presentation and ease of use.”
The best part – there is no need to pack it away. Once finished, it turns into a decorative piece that can launch a million conversations.
