Tic Tac Bang

Board Game
Competitive Party Game

This is a game that attempts to deepen Tic Tac Toe (a "solved game"). I was inspired by turned-based games such as chess and Pokemon.

To put it simply, Tic Tac Bang is Tic Tac Toe in a 3D board designed for 4 players, with Special Characters to choose from. There are four characters in total, each having their own way to play and feel the game. Each character combination has several possible metagames and is very fun in all level of play.

This was originally planned to be a digital game, but seemed more feasible as a Board Game, more specifically as a mod of Tabletop Simulator, which already had online features allowing better testing.

I'm specially proud of the game balance, where I had to focus on player's freedom, game fairness, character's thematic and, of course, fun. The game has several layers of depth and can be seen as too complicated, but it was designed several tools to help the player understand and strategize the game ahead of them.
