Competition Work Project

Mystic Tower Clash: Fantasy Battle Board Game Design & Mechanics

Overview

Mystic Tower Clash is an original fantasy strategy board game prototype crafted for national board game design competitions. As the Lead Game Designer, I engineered the core economic loop, tiered troop progression mechanics, dice movement navigation, card drafting systems, and physical standee component structures to deliver a balanced tactical battle experience for 2 to 4 players.
