Peculiar Perspective, Language Lift-off and Unusual Uses- the mini games of Martian Mates
The Martian Mates Rulebook

Bachelor of Design with Honours

Martian Mates is a board game for 9-11 year olds, that facilitates perspective taking (stepping into someone else’s shoes) and creativity in the classroom. It utilises the reciprocal relationship between perspective taking, creativity and collaboration. Three mini-game modes that focus on perspective taking, convergent thinking and divergent thinking all feed into the overall game, where the Martian Mates are preparing to take a trip to Earth.
