A satirical, dark-humored board game that turns the chaotic, stressful reality of Italian freelancing into an engaging tabletop experience. Named The Game of Partita IVA Nightmare, the project explores the bureaucratic labyrinth, endless tax deadlines, and unexpected financial hurdles faced by independent workers, converting a shared societal frustration into a playful, ironic cultural critique.

As the Lead Game Designer and Art Director, I developed the entire visual universe, structural components, and gameplay identity. The art direction adopts a bold, illustrative, and highly expressive comic style that balances corporate monotony with surreal nightmare elements. I designed the comprehensive game kit, including the custom-illustrated board map, a dedicated currency system, specialized action decks (featuring client, tax, and bureaucratic hazard cards), and the structural packaging. Every element—from the character identity tokens to the cynical, witty copywriting on the game cards—was meticulously crafted to ensure a cohesive, darkly humorous, and visually striking gaming experience.
