The pallet and line work in the illustrations were inspired by older camping and wilderness graphics. Even though these were digitally rendered, I wanted to give the board an overall inking effect and keep colors rooted in nature.
Each of the special tiles were either a Bigfoot creature or another creature of cryptid lore. Within my process, I did extensive list making and research to narrow down which creatures to feature.
This board game is based off of the structure of first commercial board game, Game of the Goose but make it Bigfoot and other cryptid creatures inspired. The object of the game is to beat your opponent to the end but beware of landing on a Bigfoot or other monster as it might send you back to the beginning.
Examples of older versions of the game board were referred back to frequently to inform decisions on structure and overall look and feel.
