Collection of 30 Original Board Games – Official Portfolios and Official Graphic Boards

Abstract

This collection brings together 30 original board game concepts created by Doumbia Amara, an inventor from Côte d’Ivoire, Africa. Each game constitutes an independent creation with its own universe, mechanics, components, objectives, strategic principles and distinctive characteristics. The collection brings together the official Zenodo deposits dedicated to these 30 creations, providing access to their official presentation portfolios as well as, where available, their official graphic boards and related presentation documents. The collection covers a wide variety of themes and fields, including education, science, mathematics, ecology, economics, strategy, logic, observation, visual perception, geography, colors, geometry, reasoning, decision-making, cooperation and competition. Particular attention is given to the educational and pedagogical dimension of these creations. Several of the games have been designed to transform learning and intellectual development into engaging, interactive and accessible play experiences. Through their mechanics, players may be encouraged to observe, analyze, compare, calculate, reason, anticipate, solve problems, develop strategies and make decisions. Depending on the individual concept, the game mechanics may also contribute to the development of concentration, memory, visual perception, logical reasoning, strategic thinking, spatial awareness, mathematical thinking, scientific understanding, environmental awareness and players’ interaction skills. The collection therefore presents board games not only as a form of entertainment, but also as potential tools for learning, cognitive stimulation, discovery and skills development. It explores different ways of combining the enjoyment of play with reflection, experimentation, knowledge acquisition and the development of intellectual abilities. For a quick understanding of each creation, it is recommended to consult the official graphic board whenever available. This document provides a visual synthesis of the game and presents its universe, components, fundamental principles and distinctive characteristics. The official portfolio can then be consulted to gain a deeper understanding of the concept, its mechanics, educational value, innovations and development potential. The 30 deposits gathered in this collection correspond to 30 distinct creations and 30 different game universes. Bringing them together in a single collection facilitates their discovery, consultation, documentation and exploration by publishers, game professionals, educational institutions and organizations, partners, investors, researchers, creators and enthusiasts of game design. This collection constitutes an official presentation and documentation resource for the original concepts. It may also serve as a basis for future development, prototyping, testing, educational experimentation, publishing or collaboration, subject to the rights and conditions applicable to each creation.
