Here's another teaser for my upcoming game Pilgrim Poker. These are the four main characters in the story of Journey to the West.
Modern day Master Tang Sanzang sits on a gaming chair and plays a handheld gaming device. I like his intensity. I find it funny.
Modern day eldest disciple Sun Wukong is a delivery boy. His Somersault Cloud is transformed into a motorbike. I think it's an electric bike.
Zhu Bajie (Piggy) was the first character Edwin drew.
Sha Wujing is not a numbered card. I put him on one of the action cards. Among my number cards (from 1 to 13), only three numbers have special powers, 4, 8 and 10. So unfortunately I did not have another number card I could put him on.
This was the first version of Sha Wujing. I felt this wasn't quite right and asked for a change. He is indeed a chill guy, but not in the sense that he is relaxed and carefree. He is chill in the sense that he is usually calm and he plays the moderator role in conflicts. He is the pacifist. Also he is always the hardworking and reliable guy.
The master and the disciples are on the back of the box. I had originally written two paragraphs for the back of the box. Edwin decided to convert the first paragraph into a comic drawing. I think that's a great idea.
This is the master and the disciples in my prototype. I found these drawings as a set on the internet.
Who is your favourite among these four?

Really enjoyed reading about the Pilgrim Poker characters and the creative reinterpretation of the classic Journey to the West. Giving Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing modern-day roles is a fun and imaginative twist, and it's interesting to see how each character's personality is reflected in the game design. Behind-the-scenes posts like this make the development process even more enjoyable to follow.
For board game conventions, hobby exhibitions, and gaming events, practical customised items can also enhance the experience for participants. A custom stainless steel tumbler, canvas tote bag, and custom embroidered cap are useful branded items for organisers, exhibitors, and attendees.
