In terms of production, the game will include 1 board for each player and 15 character cards, plus the character they choose to be. There will therefore be 16 slots in each board for the cards to fit into. The board will be made out of plywood and slots cut out with a laser cut. Another piece of plywood will then be stuck to the bottom of this piece that has been screen printed with our 'Guess Who' logo. The front of the board will be sanded down to get rid of the burning after laser cutting and then possibly spray painted depending on how it comes out. We will also include a bag to put the set in to keep it all together.
We encountered a few problems whilst in the production of our game:
- We glued the characters onto pieces of card that had been painted red however we decided this did not look professional enough so we switched it for red card, which meant cutting all of the pieces down to the correct size again
- We bought 10 a4 sized pieces of 6mm plywood to use as the boards, with the aim of laser cutting holes to create slots for the characters however we ran into a lot of problems with this material, therefore we had to change to 2mm plywood. Even when using this plywood the laser cutter didn't completely go through therefore we had to push through with scalpel and scissors.
We decided to use the 6mm plywood as a base for the 2mm, screen printing our Guess Who logo onto the back - we had to be careful screenprinting on wood as it could damage the screen.
