Calunnia

Calunnia is a board game directed towards young-adults with a focus on creative ideas and cultural development by having Dante Aligheri's Divine Comedy as its central theme. In a medium where the most popular language is illustration, the objective was to create a product that stands out from other analog games due to its chaotic and surreal visual language.

A pandemonium of visual styles. Inspired by Tide and André Hellmeister, we worked with a fusion of collage, illustration, photography, and surrealism, valuing the plasticity and dreamlike quality of the arts.
