The primary challenge we faced was distilling the essence of the traditional ring toss game and identifying its core elements to incorporate into our proposed design. We initiated the design process by closely examining the existing game and posing critical questions: What are the fundamental requirements to play this game? How can we leverage its historical richness and the captivating story that underlies its origins?
During the Research and Concept Development phase, we analyzed and broken down the game into its main elements and interactions. After several brainstorming and sketching sessions, we managed to get the right aesthetics, and also perfected the manufacturing processes to encourage efficiency.
