Gravitact – Board Game (On Pause)
In 2021 during Covid, me and my friend Tao began coming up with ideas for board games. We started brainstorming some ideas we liked, and eventually settled on an Aliens vs Humans game.
Whiteboard notes from our first brainstorming session
The objective of the game is simple: Aliens are trying to destroy the Earth, and the Humans are trying to prevent it. The game has been through 3 major versions since 2021 and it’s something we keep coming back to. In 2023 I spent a lot of time refining the artwork, eventually finishing off the design aspect.
How it looks today
The game is mostly ready, it just needs a ton more playtesting. I even made a custom game on Tabletop Simulator which is primarily how we playtest. The plan is to get a physical version made, but if you’re not doing this in bulk it really costs a lot of money sadly. If everything went well we’d love to sell it, but that’s probably just a pipedream.
