Role: Game design and physical prototyping
Materials: 3D-printed ships, modular ocean tiles, dice, tokens, and printed reference sheets.

North Hook is a Viking-themed fishing competition built around exploration, risk, and resource management. Players sail into unknown waters, reveal fishing zones, catch fish, and return to a village to sell their catch. Earnings can be saved or spent on ship and equipment upgrades.

I designed the rules and physical components, connecting tactile play with a repeating exploration–fishing–trade–upgrade loop. The videos below document the prototype components and an example of play.
