Ring Rivals
Ring Rivals is my second board game project as a Designer AND my second successful Kickstarter in a row!
This game was born from a childhood love of WWE and, honestly, I was just dying to create some wrestlers of my own. But following the enormous Next Goal Wins project - I designed Ring Rivals to be fast, budget-friendly, and portable!
Game and UX Design
This time around I designed a game where the basic rules could be learned in under five minutes, while also being fast and frantic to play. Above all, I wanted something that would feel different every time you played.
And once the game design was locked down, I turned my hand to designing the card layouts and the box graphics. And that’s not just because I’m too cheap to pay someone - I’m just always looking for opportunities to challenge myself and grow. And especially to get things wrong and go crawling to my friends for help. That’s growth too.
Video and crowdfund
Just to add one final challenge I decided to create the promo video too. Okay, it’s not perfect but it’s also not bad for my first try. I’m very much a self-starter so you just can’t stop me from giving things a go.
And it worked a charm as we hit our funding goal on Kickstarter and brought Ring Rivals to life after 2 years of work!
