Het Stoombootspel

About the project

Help Sinterklaas (an old man with dementia) to safe the ship by discovering and repairing all the rooms!

I made from scratch in 7 weeks for maximum of 15 players for Sinterklaas (A Dutch holiday).

The game takes about 3 hour to complete. All the players try to repair all the rooms, finish their own mission and get back to the start as soon as possible. The players play with real presents people can collect during the game. This game serves as a replacement for the famous Dutch game:

Het Kadeautjes spel. A terrible game people play as an tradition during Sinterklaas avond. This game is supposed to make getting presents fun by throwing dice to collect your presents.

The total length of the board is 130cm with a width of 90 cm. The background art is generated by AI, the icons are drawn by an Artist. The board layout and rooms are drawn by me.
