Improvements: -


I improved the mapping of this game. In user testing I found that the directions of the game were not obvious enough and very confusing; therefore I added the direction lines. I also added the color into the boxes and lines which made this game much more easily to understand. I made this game with cardboard, which is fine, it works; but I want actual game to have Mattel on board and cubes with magnet on the bottom so they don’t fall.
