The Game where Chance Meets Strategy, and Only the Most Successful Planner Claims the Delivery Express Cup!
What is DeliveRoutes?
DeliveRoutes is a board game in which two competing players take turns in placing road tiles around delivery points.
The aim of the game is to be the one who gets to all of the objectives the fastest and the way to get there is by being strategic about placing roads and using obstacles.
How to Play
Players draw from a deck containing either road tiles or obstacles. The card they get defines their action that turn.
Tiles are used to populate the board with roads, eventually creating an infrastructure that allows both players to reach the three Delivery Points.
Obstacles, made up from Road Blocks and Traffic Tokens, are a way for players to mess with their opponent. Road Blocks deny access to the road they are placed on and if you go over Traffic Tokens, then points are added to your tally when counting up the shortest route.
Project Development - Obstacles - Road Block
The process for creating the Road Blocks started with making a 3D model of a cone inside of Maya. This was further cleaned up using Zbrush.
The next step was to transfer the model file to a 3D printing engine and decide on the final size and quantity. Finally, the model was 3D printed, cleaned of excess resin, filled with sand for weight, and glued together to hold.
Before painting the cones, they were given a coat of primer. The colour palette is used to denote a classic construction cone that would be easily recognizable for any player, further accentuating their role as obstacles. To protect the components from wear and tear, they received a final coat of varnish.
Project Development - Game Board
The game board required an extensive reimagining based on the previous feedback. The most important elements to change were the numbered tiles and the starting positions. This was done on paper before tackling the design digitally. After completing its components, the board went through several digital iterations, eventually ending up with its ready-to-print version.
