Board Game Product Design Based on the ATMSG Framework
The Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)aim to address various global challenges,making their dissemination and promotion critical.In recent years,board games have garnered attention as an effective educational tool,allowing players to acquire knowledge effortlessly while being entertained.The ATMSG educational game design framework systematically and comprehensively illustrates how game elements interact,providing a solid practical foundation for this study.By summarizing the content and visual design principles of board games related to the SDGs and simplifying as well as translating the concepts of the SDGs,a board game product titled"SDGs,For the Better World"was developed.Finally,usability testing was conducted based on scales across three dimensions,learning design,game design,and software development.The results showed positive user feedback on learning strategies,storytelling,and media quality,while also documenting issues in the design to further improve the user experience.This study provides novel approaches and methodologies for the gamified dissemination of the SDGs and explores innovative possibilities for integrating digital board games with sustainable development themes.
