Rules
Thesis
- The goal of the game is to have the most points
- The game ends when your opponent's Crown is captured.
- At the start of the game, you place down creatures from a deck of tiles.
- Each turn, you gain action tokens which can be discarded to trigger different actions of your creatures.
Beyond the Board is an AR board game innovating by bridging the virtual and physical worlds together. This theme was further emphasized by collaborating with peers who worked fully virtually during the development. At that point, we had the idea of creating an AR board game, so that players could have the best of both the virtual world, where anything is possible, and the physical world of board games.

Market Strategy
Stage 2: Release AR app and open up preorders for a physical board product run. Expand the characters and offer more boards for more AR games (Chess, Dungeons and Dragons, etc). Eventually get our boards in toy stores and Amazon
Stage 1: Put Digital app on the market with a paid expansion pack and advertising to raise money for Xcode and a better Augmented Reality Engine. Through direct comments, experimental updates, and game modes, get customer feedback and improve the game for AR release as well as grow social media pages to line up potential Beyond the Board buyers.
