How it works.

Our board game, It's not waste, is a simple board game, much like the ones available in the market right now. It is different, in the goals it aims to achieve. It is a beneficial game for people of any age, culture and sex. 

The entire board game is made from reused waste products. 



(The first prototype we made. Our first attempt at the game.)

The set includes a variety of waste products such as metal products, paper, thread, glue, and wood, to name a few. Each player receives some amount of money at the beginning of the game and earns more as they play ahead. 


The board is divided into segments, and depending on where the player lands when he/she rolls the die, he/she must follow the instructions. If the player lands on a segment that asks him/her to collect money, he/she collects it from an impartial player who acts as the money manager.  


The main objective is to earn money and buy materials from the impartial player in order to build something beneficial, creative and inventive out of the waste materials depending on the segment they land on. 


We thought of different themes for the game, such as a house, office, school, etc., which provides a framework, for the players to build something in. 

In the one presented, we used the theme of a home. So for example, if the player lands on the kitchen segment, they can buy materials from the impartial player and build something that they think can be used in the kitchen. After making it, the impartial player judges how much money the product is worth. 

The game has no time limit and can be played until the players want to. And the winner is decided based on the amount of money he has left and the number of items he/she has built.
