A Day In Hanford Lemoore's Life

The most ego-centric game I've ever made.



In 2007 I made a board game as a christmas gift for 20 of my bestest friends. That game? A Day In Hanford Lemoore's Life. 

Click photos to enlarge them.

The Logic Cube

This is a custom die I designed, simply becuase I found blank dice in a game store. Each side was supposed to represent a different aspect of my thinking process. You can read more about it in the manual.

Cards

The game came with close to 100 "action cards" that players would draw when they landed on specially marked squares thoughtout the board. 

The cards were written mostly around what my friend's expected out of me; playing into the stereotypes they had of me (video games, tiki bars, and not having a fixed work schedule). 

Here's a select few. Sorry the photos are so bad; I'm doing this at night and I don't have any good light. Or a good camera.

The Instruction Manual

Here are photos of the manual. As tongue-in-cheek as possible. Most of the humor is in the first two pages, the FAQ page, and in the advertisement on the back.
