  CARD GAME - REVIVE

2023

While in the third college year in ESAD (College of Arts and Design) in the Communication Design course, in the scope of Grafisms and Merchandising subject, I created my own card game.

The objective of this project was to create a manual game aimed to elderly people.

​

My work

It´s important to stay active, not only physically but also psychologically, and in more advanced ages this is crucial.

With this in mind, my idea was to create a game that the elders of our country could not only keep "active" mentally, but also could relate to, something that they lived and something that pushes them to think and to remember.

So, Revive focus on important historic portuguese events, their meanings and their respective dates. The objective of the game is, by being played at least by two people, to find out which dates correspond to which events and what they were about. One person reads out loud an event name or date, and the other one tries to correspond everything correctly.

This way they can not only "exercise" the mind in searching the correct answers, but also revive past moments while spending good time playing and discussing history.

​

Next, you can see the cards and the explanation dossier, accompanied by the solution sheet and the sheet corresponding to the game rules. Not every card was made, by the way, only ten of them just to give the actual idea and visual concept/design of the card game. Every card was printed, rules and solutions.
