Art Project: Custom Frenzy Game Box

Posted by Catalyst at 4:48 PM

Frenzy is a card game of real-time strategy. Two players choose from four different factions and then pit their forces against each other in a fast and furious confrontation. The game revolves around drawing cards from your deck and then placing them on one of seven piles which represents the distribution of your forces across the battlefield. You have to watch your opponent's moves and react to them quickly in order to stay ahead.

Each of the four factions in Frenzy is represented by a deck of cards, each of which comes in its own little tuckbox. But as with the Yomi card game, I decided it might be nice to have another box to keep the four decks together in, so I decided to build one. This was a fun little project. Lately I've been really frustrated because I've had a hard time doing anything creative. I sit down to write and I find that I just can't write. I sit down to draw and I find that I just can't draw. But, I can measure and cut! So that's what I've done. Here are some pictures of the process and the final product.


 Here is the rough box and some of the basic tools I used to make it.

 Here is the awesome new paper-cutter I bought the other day! It cuts very precisely and quickly, and is made from 100% pure plastic coolness. The paper there with the game title and artwork is a label that was shrink-wrapped with the four decks of cards that make up the game. I cut off the edges of it and used it to decorate the top of my box.

 And here is the finished box with the four decks next to it and all of the tools and supplies I used scattered around. Yes, I'm a messy artist.

 And here's another shot of the finished box where you can get a little peek at the enterior.

As you can see, the four decks fit inside the box perfectly, though you might have to turn the box upside-down to get them out.

And one last shot of it all closed up. This box doesn't fit quite as tightly as my Yomi box, which is actually an improvement garnered from my experiences building that box.

Yet another awesome box \^o^/! You are becoming quite talented in making these and I see you are aquiring some cool supplies. Is one for your Dominion cards next? By the way, Artist = Messy, so don't worry too much over that.
