Flightless is a board game created by a team of 4. I was the artist of the group. I determined the atheistic style of the game, designed characters, card visuals, board visuals and the box cover. 

​

I also helped designed gameplay mechanics.

About the game

​

Flightless Birds is about four birds (a chicken, penguin, peacock and kiwi) who have crash-landed on an island. They must rebuild a plane in order to escape, but only one of them can make it out. 

​

Players each control one of the birds and must navigate the node-based map to collect specific items which, when combined, allow the player to win the game. 

​

Players also have the option to ‘team up’ with other players which increases the amount of movement they can make in their turn, therefore creating faster gameplay. This generates a unique style of strategy encouraging co-operation until one player is close to winning, at which point they become the target of all other players.
