Hello there,
actually this Project was intended as a book long before I decided to make a boardgame. But since I never managed to write more than 4 pages in a row and then abandon the project, I now decided to try the boardgame-way.
First things first. What is this about? This blog is a documentation about the making of the boardgame Radica. My first boardgame, to be precise. I'm not here to teach you how it is done, because I obviously don't know. But hopefully you find some of it interesting for your own project.
With that said, here's what Radica is about:
Story:
Welcome to Radica, a ring-world centered around the legendary Lost City. You are playing as one of four tribes, the last remains of humankind, who are living at the outermost ring.
Each night the Lost City sends out its minions, horribly deformed humanoid slave creatures, to terrorize your tribe. While you managed to fight them off so far, it is clear that in the long run, you are going to die. Your only hope is to travel to the Lost City and grab evil by its roots.
To do that you have to rely upon your one and only weapon: The Radicals. They are your Road Warriors - men and women, chained to their pressured Monowheels, who can survive the night outside your shelter and electrocute their foes - as long as they don’t run out of pressure.
Mechanics:
- Race to the top
- Manipulate the board
- Survive the night
- Micromanage your pressure
Fabrication:
I intend to make the whole game only with a Laser-Cutter and 3D-Printer with the plan in mind that once I have created a stable version, people can download the plans and make the game for themselves.
