"Tropichaos" is an Oink Games reimagining of the board game "Subtropical Japan," which was originally released by Jun Sasaki and Goro Sasaki of the family board game design circle "Pampas" at Game Market Autumn 2024. "Tropichaos" is a game about collecting and selling fruit as the seasons shift rapidly. On each turn, your choice is simple, either collect fruit or sell fruit, but the timing makes every decision meaningful. Unexpected season shifts create surprising twists and dramatic moments, keeping the game lively and full of excitement.
[Packaging Concept: "Taiwanese Sweets" and a "Showa Vibe"]
"Tropichaos Design Notes" is a booklet that compiles behind-the-scences interviews with the development members, including the creator Goro Sasaki, about its creation. It covers everything from the spark that inspired the idea to the trial and error of the artwork. From the intentions behind the packaging design to the reasons for the fruit selection and what Jun Sasaki considers to be the essence of "fun"...and more! This is a must-read book for fans of "Tropichaos" and game developers alike.
