Belly of the Beast

A 6-player board-game based on the labyrinth maze from the Theseus and the Minotaur myth, in the style of Greek tiling and pottery.

The players start off as heroes whose goal is to get to the centre by navigating the hexagonal maze and finding keys. The first one to reach the centre wins!

When a player dies, they turn into a monster, which changes their goal to killing the other players. When a monster kills another player, they turn also turn into a monster in infection-style game mode fashion. Once all the heroes die, the monsters win!

A long the way, there are power-ups for both heroes and monsters use which based on items and powers in Greek myths.

Other inspiration: 

The game Apotheon (https://store.steampowered.com/app/208750/Apotheon/) and the way they applied the Greek pottery techniques in a game setting gave lots of inspiration, but also the game's use of weapons and powers from Greek myths also took some influence.

The game Crawl (https://store.steampowered.com/app/293780/Crawl/) did not directly influence the game but saw it during the making of the game and features a similar style of heroes vs monsters in a dungeon setting.
