Once we got the cards and the protective covers, we thought we needed a little bit more branding to the game and started looking at what boxes we could use to hold the cards in. We started to research Asian cultures and the positives effects on the earth and what makes a game more attachable to the consumers. We managed to find a wooden box that has two dividers for two poker card decks to fit in which we made sure before purchasing the box that our cards will fit nicely in without any struggle to the user to get them out. The price of the box was under £3 meaning that if the game was going to be mass produced it wouldn’t be cheap to produce.
When the box came we noticed that it needed some work to the wood as it felt quite rough and cheap. we decided to get some help from the wood technicians at the university who were really helpful in giving us feedback on how to treat the wood. We began coating the box with Danish oil and leaving it to set overnight, however, we noticed that the box was beginning to warp which meant we could only coat it once but the result was a lot better. We were also suggested by the technicians to sand down the box once the oil was completely set to give it lot smoother finish and made the quality of the box a lot higher.
