"Light or Dark" - A Two-Player Board Game Addressing the Global Energy Crisis

In response to the global energy crisis, "Light or Dark" is a unique two-player board game designed to educate children about sustainable living and energy conservation. The game challenges players to complete tasks cooperatively while facing various constraints, fostering skills such as time management, concentration, and strategic planning.

The game board is crafted from colored beech, with other components primarily made of ABS or PMMA, ensuring a durable and visually appealing design. With dimensions of 330mm (w) x 235mm (d) x 53mm (h), "Light or Dark" offers a substantial and engaging gameplay experience.

Players must strategically manage limited resources to plant trees, combat pollution, and build new energy stations, all while racing against time. The game's unique mechanics, including an hourglass and dice, add an element of unpredictability and excitement, making each playthrough a thrilling and educational experience.

The project commenced in December 2022 in Milan and was completed in February 2023, following extensive research and playtesting with children over the age of 7. The game's development process involved addressing the challenge of translating complex energy crisis issues into an engaging and educational format suitable for young players.

Lan Zhou and Xinlu Yang, the passionate designers behind "Light or Dark," believe in the power of meaningful design to connect people with their environment. Their innovative approach has earned them the Bronze A' Design Award in the Toys, Games, and Hobby Products category, recognizing their outstanding contribution to educational and socially impactful design.
