A new Studio Ghibli Park board game is born inspired by the whimsical park itself. The fun is brought to the comforts of the home and it is designed by Goro Miyazaki, who is the son of animator Hayao Miyazaki. The game is more than just a simple board game, it is a beautifully created structure that captures the spirit of the studio's style. The board reimagines the official Ghibli Park's original promotion poster.
It features details including the park's website URL, a prompt that the tickets can be reserved every 10th day of the month, an active QR code, and more. The actual game functions like sugoroku, which is a dice-based experience where players roll the die and move their pieces, and then follow directions on the board. The main goal is to reach Totoro at the middle of the board.
