EMERGENCE is a deckbuilding role playing board game created in collaboration with Leticia Gomes-Carvalho, Kaianna Kaneshiro, Reese Madison, and Theo Pleasure-Park. The once peaceful EMERGENCE CITY is turned on its head after mysterious creatures called “Gleekers” suddenly appear from beneath the surface. Players are challenged with working together as the “City Council” in order to complete missions, reach the end of the game board, and establish order between all residents.
As a writer, I was responsible for establishing the overall tone of the game. Working closely with my co-writer and the design team, I established the tongue-and-cheek humor to provide contrast with the malformed visual design. Over two-hundred cards were created for the game across multiple months which were then edited down to fifty.
