Altered Toys Design – Deanna Polosino

For this project, I chose to do a redesign of the car pieces in the board game Game of Life. This was my favorite board game when I was younger and the biggest issue I had was that sometimes the cars could not fit enough people pieces. For my redesign, I am making the cars bigger and making new vehicles to use.

    Do you plan to make it fit the actual game of life people pieces, or are you going to print your own small people pieces.

    1. Deanna says:

      yes they should be able to fit the real game pieces!

    I think it would really bring your toy to life if you printed the little people to go into the cars as well.

    I like this idea – you might think to make a higher precision on the laser so that it accounts for the fine details

    I loved this game as a kid! I agree, making small little people for the cars would be cool, and they could even have custom designs.

    This is a very cute idea! Are you planning on painting them or leaving them a single color to keep to how the pieces look from the game?

    1. Deanna says:

      single color!

    What new vehicles are you thinking of adding? I think trains might be a cool one to add.

    I like this idea a lot. I also played Life a lot as a kid. How many more spaces are you planning on adding to your cars? Maybe printing them on a small base would be useful to help with the number of supports the cars would need.

      adding a base is a good idea!
