Board game development: Playing pieces

These are the game pieces for our boardgame. The Player pieces are made of a self-drying clay and primed black, before being painted in bright acrylic paint. The idea of making the pieces look different is so players feel like they are playing their own adventure. Also it means when the game is replayed the player gets a choice as to the asthetics of his playing piece, it makes every new game feel different.

The die was bought as part of a set called "Blue Star" it was chosen because of the cosmic and space like look to it. It felt as thought it gave the game a stronger cohesion, it felt more complete than if we used just a white die.
