Gold Fever is a family friendly game based on the events of the Gold Rush. It was specifically designed to teach children to recognize images, count, and learn about that time period. Gold Fever allows families to bond and learn together, making lasting memories. Through extensive research on the Gold Rush, I was able to create the concept and all elements of the game and the game’s rule book, designing them with that era in mind. I wanted all the game materials to have a tactile appearance and be made with materials that would have been present during that time, such as wood and canvas.
