Board Game: Royal Matchmaker

When

2021

Where

Board game in Miro

What

Royal Matchmaker is a boardgame of LOVE, SOCIAL CIRCLES AND SCHEMING!  Your job as a matchmaker is to navigate your protegees to a better life through fabulous marriages. See the painted picture of your desired match (as there were no selfies that time) and conquer the match following the court etiquette – The Three Steps of Matchmaking: Introduction, Courting, and Proposal! Are your gentlemen and ladies the ones that end up in the royal circles?

The board game was designed during Game of History course while covid19 pandemic was still on-going. For this, the team did not meet in person during the design of the game. This lead us to design the whole game remotely to Miro.
