Max recently completed a project with Oxford Games Ltd, a renowned board game designer and creators of classic games such as Jenga and Playing Shakespeare. Oxford Games have recently decided to reintroduce some of their family favourite board games with some digitisation assistance from Max. Leslie Scott, one of the founders of Oxford Games has overseen the digitisation process. Using scans of the original board game materials we were able to do layer by layer restoration of the games; Flummoxed and Bookworm, two unique and compelling titles.
Before
After
As original games are over 20 years old, the work we faced involved a lot of restoration. The games were hand coloured by pencil and the vibrancy of the colours had deteriorated over time, so we were tasked to colour correct them to revitalise the images. We modernised the branding along with other aspects of the games that needed renovating, in some cases we were able to recover damaged cards from the originals and fully restore them.
All of our staff who participated in the work thoroughly enjoyed the assignment and stated that it was fun to find solutions to each aspect of the project they encountered.
