Alpha Team Mechanized Battle Force Go!
A 2-5 player co-operative tabletop game with giant robots, rampaging monsters, powerful combos, and real teamwork!
From a creative perspective, this project is a love letter to the toys of my childhood as a '90s kid. Mecha action figures that shot neon-colored translucent plastic projectiles and transformed the scale of a bedroom floor littered with LEGO buildings and matchbox cars into a monumental field of destruction.
Special thanks to How To Steam Broccoli for trusting me to run wild on this project, and to my friend and collaborator, illustrator Kin Wald, who both helped design several of the monsters as well as assisted on card illustration with Baldemar Rivas. Thank you both!
I approached this with the attitude of making something my inner child would instantly be feverishly excited about with high chroma color and a charming, toylike sense of scale with real world details.
I used a lot of dramatic, sweeping urban landscapes with dazzling spark-filled explosions to lend the G.R.W.L.s (Giant Robots With Lasers ) a familiar Power Rangers-esque fight scene quality.
