Board Game Theme and Concept

Theme: "race to defeat the dragon and be the hero!"
The game's theme is medieval knights on a quest to kill a dragon and stop the land from freezing over. This is not "historically accurate medieval" as there is an ice dragon in a tower and there is an equal number of male and female knights the player can choose from.


Examples of theme: Game of Thrones and The Hobbit
The television/book series Game of Thrones is based on medieval western Europe and inspired by castles and knighting tournaments. There are also dragons involved. This theme is the basis for everything socially acceptable (and unacceptable) in the series as well as the overall aesthetic look to the characters and setting.



The book/movie The Hobbit takes place in a fantasy setting where a group of characters go on a journey to take treasure from a dragon. The fantasy theme allows for the monsters, dragons, and other creatures to exist in the land without question.



Color scheme: The land around the dragon's tower is icy so it will be more of a light blue while the land farther away from it is more dark greens and purple. The overall scheme of the board is cool colors, and the player pieces would be warmer colors such as red, orange, and yellow.
