Progress Updates

We've playtested Campus in a Box with collegiate industry professionals and casual board gamers and they both say it's a lot of fun! We're still tweaking our building construction mechanic and balancing our Strategic Plan cards. Art is currently all public domain photos, however, we can't wait to work with an artist to change over to colorful original art. Our ultimate goal is theme CiaB into CHOU! University complete with the Fighting Lasagna mascot. Be on the lookout for our upcoming Print-and-Play so you can try CiaB at home!
