The mission was to create a giant map of Europe, adapting the countries so that people could stand on them — including the very small ones. The challenge was to design the map with varying proportions while keeping each country’s shape recognisable.
I used my illustration skills to draw the map, giving each country a unique pattern to help distinguish it from its neighbours. This visual approach made the map easy to navigate and visually engaging — while also serving a practical purpose: making it more accessible for people with colour blindness.
Accessibility was a key part of the process. All colour choices were tested to be colour-blind friendly, ensuring the game could be enjoyed by all.
The result is a playful, inclusive, and well-crafted resource that helps young people connect with Europe — one country at a time.
Alongside the map, the game includes 211 playing cards, a rule booklet, a custom card box, and a string bag — all designed to bring the experience to life and support the game’s educational goals.
