Kralj Matjaž in Alenčica Board game

I designed a custom version of a Harness racing track board game that entangles the famous Slovenian legend of Kralj Matjaž and Alenčica. Four players race together to save the beautiful Alenčica from the evil hands of the Ottoman army. The game includes few traps: on gray areas, King Matjaž can fall asleep and has to wait until the next round, the same happens if he gets stopped by the fearsome river, but if he manages to get Alenčica's ring the waves will part and let him through. In the end, only the mightiest of the kings will be able to get to Alenčica and offer her his hand in marriage.

The project is a result of an illustration class
