This document discusses using board games to study user experience design (UXD) principles from a non-digital perspective. It begins by introducing the author and their background in game design. It then defines what a board game is and provides examples of popular modern board games. The document explains that board games are manually operated, physical experiences that can involve complexity and subjective interactions between players. It suggests UXD principles like visual design, information architecture, and interaction design could improve board game design by immersing players in the atmosphere and aiding the learning process. In conclusion, it states that board games have evolved as a communication medium that could further benefit from UXD to better deliver their messages to audiences.

- 7. “I invented the term because I thought human interface and usability were too narrow. I wanted to cover all aspects of the person's experience with the system including industrial design graphics, the interface, the physical interaction and the manual. Since then the term has spread widely, so much so that it is starting to lose its meaning.” — Donald Norman UXD

Editor's Notes
- #2: Cardboard Perspective? This is more like a sharing session rather than a lecture. We’re gonna earn scores & have fun during this session.
- #3: Handled clients such as Microsoft, Toshiba, Nestle, Goodyear, Pacific Place, Sugus & a few telcos (not including XL). Game producer to some local IP such as Freesia City for Facebook. Fan translation of KOEI’s Nobunaga’s Ambition XII back in 2008. Boardgame : Lagak Jakarta
- #4: How many peple have played boardgame in the audience & what games have they played? Ask them the picture from right to left. The rightmost picture worth 1 points. SENET – 3100 BC.
- #5: Boardgames have evolved, they’re not just a mere toy but a communication tool. Catan is designed by Klaus Teuber, published in 1995 and considered as a pioneer of modern board game.
- #6: - Let’s try this experiment. How many people can guess my card?
- #7: Congratulations! You just played a round of Dixit. Beside the clever gameplay, Dixit box is also used as a scoring track for the game. Thematic boardgames for all age & taste, including zombies, fantasy & warfare.
- #8: User experience design (UXD or UED) is the process of enhancing user satisfaction by improving the usability, accessibility, and pleasure provided in the interaction between the user and the product. - Donald Norman, UX Architect, co-founder of Nielsen Norman Group & user-centered design supporters.
- #9: Why board game need a good UXD? Since you have to move every bits & pieces yourself, a good streamlined design will helps you set-up the game faster & recognize the pattern easier. Lords of Waterdeep combines score track, worker placement iconography & there’s a place for every deck in the board (point out building lots).
- #10: Every inch is precious, make effective & efficient use of space. Carcassonne is a strategic tile-laying games that allows you to create a dynamic shaped town from various tiles. Dixit box can be used as a score-tracker.
- #11: Player need to track various variables inside the game, let alone making multiple strategic decisions. Don’t let the board get in the way.
- #12: Do you have any idea what they are doing?
- #13: What about this? Don’t get me wrong, this game is great & complex, but it could use a little tidying up.
- #14: You’ll encounter different experience when you play with different people.
- #15: You play differently with different people. Chess. Who knows what Free Parking space do in Monopoly? Include Monopoly Official Rulebook.
- #16: - It’s just one of many, and can be directly felt by the player.
- #18: It’s encompass all things but Visual Design & Usability usually are connected with game components while Information Architecture are connected with Rulebook, while the interaction is closely tied with Mechanics. Let’s take a look at these study cases.
- #19: Great game that lets you conquer Europe using multiple European Nations. You can track your result using this tracker. Don’t need a lot of theories and let’s jump right into the next slide.
- #20: Philippe Keyaerts re-implements Vinci mechanism into Small World, gaining an instant success. The race power is split into two parts instead of one power to increase replayability. The scoring tracker is converted into Victory Coins which makes it harder for player to track who is currently leading the game.
- #21: Information architecture can include a lot of things, including the rulebook. In case you can’t read the title in the rulebook, it’s called Dominion. It’s a great game where each player build their own deck along the way, it even created a new trend. And it’s only fair to compare it with another board game published in the same year.
- #22: Also a great game where you plays as a group of scientist trying to save the world from a Pandemic. Popularize a genre where players can play together to defeat the game/system.
- #23: Rather than hearing me talking I have the exact video to show you about the perfect example of a good Interaction Design.
