Can you keep yourself balanced in this exciting board game about upholding balance! Roll the dice, move around the board, and pick up action cards that sway you one way or another along the balance meter. Along side this global cards will come into play at the beginning of each round adding rules that effect everyone. Will you be the most neutral by the end of 15 turns or will you tip the scales?

Perfectly balanced is a turn based board game with a focus on balance and neutrality. There is no win or lose condition in Perfectly balanced, you just need to try and remain as balanced as possible for the entirety of the game. Inspired by Yin-Yang and its Chinese philosophical concept built on equal opposites. The game idea came from the idea of failure, we took this and decided to try and make a game with no win or lose, just neutrality.

Working on this game it was my job to design the systems, this included designing the cards, and card effects, as well as testing the game to make sure the gameplay was as smooth as possible.
