This qualification paper is dedicated to the development of a board game design based on "Snakes and Ladders". The result of the research is the creation of an original board game titled "Kotolaz", which features a new conceptual and narrative foundation. The game stands out due to its topical theme, relevant to the Ukrainian population, the optimization of gameplay through the use of magnetic interaction between elements, a unique structural solution for implementing the game board design, and a comprehensive set of design choices used in visual presentation, illustrations, and brand identity. At the beginning of the research section, the relevance of the topic was substantiated, the current state of academic development of the issue was described, and the aim, objectives, object, and subject of the research were defined, along with the research methods and the theoretical value of the obtained results. Within the explanatory part of the paper, the following were carried out: a brief historical overview of board games involving the movement of elements across the playing field; an analysis of the cultural significance of "Snakes and Ladders" in various cultural contexts; a study of the current state of the board game market in Ukraine; an analysis of the target audience; and a comparative review of analogues and competitors in the relevant segment of the Ukrainian market. Furthermore, the game’s mechanics are described in detail, its concept and storyline are developed, the technologies for project implementation are identified, and the brand identity with its characteristic visual features is presented.
