DESIGNING A BOARD GAME FOR KNOWLEDGE SHARING ON WILD BETTA FISH

-

Abstract

The objective of this creative article was to design a board game “Breeding Betta” providing knowledge on breeding wild betta in form of 2D animated media. The creative process consisted of 4 steps: 1) Plan operational guidelines, 2) Set goals and content objectives, gather information, study and understand the content correctly, 3) Study information for making a board game, 4) Design and create the board game. The creator developed the board game “Breeding Betta” as a family game that could be played by 2-4 people. In the simulation, the player was like the owner of a wild betta farm, raising different kinds of wild betta, and developing wild betta varieties to sell. In the game, various events were simulated based on reality to create the fun of the game, and the player learned about primitive species of wild betta, which are the ancestors of various beautiful biting fish. Raising awareness of economic fish that can generate a lot of income for the country was added in the game. This is because some species of wild fighting fish are at risk of becoming extinct and becoming more difficult to find. So they have increased the market value and demand. This project is part of the creator's hope to make wild fighting fish known and convey the guidelines for raising fighting fish for those interested in playing in the form of a board game.
