Some Game Pieces

As a name for my game I originally thought of Monstratego because monster in Latin is "monstra," and because it just fits so well with Stratego, but now I'm thinking of Daemonibus ("demons" in Latin), because I want to depart from Stratego's name to make it its own game. I want to stick to Latin roots for the name because I like to imagine this underworld as having some qualities of Dante's Inferno hell with Nine Circles, which would account for the different demon's Ranks.

Here's the layout of the game-board. I'm gonna draw a terrain map to be overlayed on it, and the red and blue sections are going to have all the character illustrations lined up in Rank order. The brown spaces are "muddy" areas where pieces can only move one space at a time (as opposed to two) and the gray spaces are where Chance events happen (the player draws a story-event card).

I'm still having trouble deciding what color the sides should be, because some pieces just look a lot better in the opposing color 8(  But I actually like the original gray versions of each piece best, before they're colored |D  I got some test pieces laser-cut in plastic earlier today, but I need to go back on Friday to get them all done.

Rough of the game guide booklet:

Everything's slowly coming together, but I still have a WHOLE lot to do. I'm excited to see how it turns out, and to see everyone else's games!
