Mystics of Salem
Mystics of Salem is a board game where each player has to race to reach the center of the board first. This is done by throwing a dice to indicate how many tiles you can move, but also by gathering resource cards, action cards and beating witch-hunters camps.
This project was done during Bachelor's in Graphic design at LAU Beirut. We were tasked as a group to to think of a concept from scratch, and develop a fully functional gameplay.

Game Lore
Long ago, the covens of Salem thrived under the ruling of four fair supremes. The covens of the Crystal rose, the Burning fire, the Sacred light, and the Rising Tide have always lived in harmony and peace. But evil forces always lurk in the shadows, it didn't take long for the witch-hunters to ravage the sacred lands and take over them. Now darkness poisons these lands, and each of the four witch supremes is on a personal quest to bring the glory back to Salem in the name of their coven.
Resource cards
Resource cards are collected throughout the game, either by drawing a card at the beginning of your turn, or by stepping on a mystery chest. These cards can be used to beat witch hunter camps and advance through the board.
Action cards
Action cards are obtained by stepping on a mystery chest. They will either help you or set you back.
