2. Imagining the Game
 Using Anime themes and characters, I will
create a board game playable by 2 to 6
players ages, ages 12 and older.
 Theme of this strategy game: All players begin
at the same point and have the goal of
reaching the highest level possible. They can
accomplish this by strategy cards that give
special powers to them, take powers from
competing characters, or allow attacks against
other players.
 two versions: Tabletop game for home play; a
magnetic version for playing while traveling in
a car will follow success of 1st version

4. Creator’s Biography
India Whitehead-Zerbey is a long-time fan
of all things Anime. She has been active
on role playing websites since she was
12 years old. She loves to imagine new
stories for Anime characters and longs
to visit Japan, the land of their origin.
The creation of this game is her first
step to making that trip a reality.
