Snap!Gammon

A play on Backgammon, Snap!Gammon pushes the iconic format of the game into a new visual field and narrative. The starting point was turning the board into a crocodile's mouth, with the pieces – Egyptian plovers – moving along the teeth. The accompanying story features the characters Niall, who travels through Sumeria via Crocodopolis to Egypt, Ereshkigal the Goddess, Sobek the Crocodile God, and Cleopatra. The typography and illustration are composed of circles and triangles, referencing the game as well as Sumerian cuneiform lettering and hieroglyphics.
