D&AD Hasbro, Course Collaboration

The Brief:
annotations of the brief have been made to document thought and considerations.

This brief will be responded to as part of a collaboration team. Due to the various aspects required for this brief (game design, packaging, video) it allows for each individual to take the lead in their desired area. Each of the members in the group have different strengths which are suited to this brief. This also allows for peer teaching and development, to strengthen individual skills through others.

This brief is current in today's trends as games are becoming increasingly popular forms of entertainment. In many independent cafes/bars there is the opportunity to play card/board games. This suits the social audience who go to such places. I also play a number of board and card games at social occasions and therefore have a personal interest towards this brief.  


Copyright Information:
- Protection will be available not for the idea of the game but for the way in which the idea is expressed i.e. the explanation of the rules and the design of the board etc
- Copyright comes into existence automatically with the creation of rules and design
- Advised to mark the rules and the board with the copyright symbol
- If someone else were to take the idea and produce a different game based on it, there would be no infringement of copyright
