Embark on an exclusive journey into the creation of Mummy's Gold, from its initial concept to the final production. Our New Zealand-based team invites you behind the curtain to witness the magic of board game development.

The Spark of an Idea

It all began in our Wellington office, where our team of passionate game designers brainstormed concepts for a new adventure board game. The idea of Mummy's Gold emerged, combining the allure of ancient Egyptian treasures with the excitement of a race against time.

Conceptualization and Research

Our designers delved deep into Egyptian mythology, studying hieroglyphics and ancient artifacts to ensure authenticity. We wanted Mummy's Gold to be not just a game, but an immersive experience that would transport players to the mysterious world of the pharaohs.

Prototype Development

With our concept solidified, we moved into the prototyping phase. Our team crafted numerous iterations of the game board, pieces, and cards. Each prototype was rigorously tested, with feedback from both our team and focus groups helping to refine the gameplay mechanics.

Art and Design

The visual aspect of Mummy's Gold was crucial in bringing the game to life. Our talented artists worked tirelessly to create stunning artwork that captured the essence of ancient Egypt while maintaining a modern, appealing aesthetic.

Playtesting and Refinement

Countless hours were spent playtesting Mummy's Gold. We invited gamers from all over New Zealand to our office to try out different versions of the game. Their feedback was invaluable in balancing the gameplay and ensuring that Mummy's Gold was both challenging and enjoyable for players of all skill levels.

Launch and Beyond

The launch of Mummy's Gold was a momentous occasion for our team. Seeing our creation come to life and be enjoyed by players across the globe has been incredibly rewarding. But our journey doesn't end here – we're constantly gathering feedback and considering expansions to enhance the Mummy's Gold experience.
