EISH, THE TREK!

EISH, THE TREK! Is a designer board game designed by me and 4 other partners (credit: Nicola Lotter, Lauren Bauer, Chene' Haarhof, Michelle Westermann, and me, Tjaart Pretorius). 

This designer board game explores South Africa, together with its cities, roads, politics, traditions, language (including South African slang) and many other aspects in a hilarious way.

The object of the game is to start at a city (randomly chosen by a pick-up card) and then to get to your final destination (your opponents must figure out where it is as you move along, and try and stop you with roadblocks, etc). You have to keep your destination a secret until you get there. The first one to reach their destination, wins. 

The packaging was hand-made, and so was other little parts of the board game. The board itself is built like a puzzle before the game starts. It also includes question cards and command cards. All together it's a game of discovery, strategy, and faith.
