What to Give Dad? Original Design Gift Ideas

COVER IMAGE — GENERATION PROPOSAL

Editorial Father's Day scene: several Proyecto Ensamble board games on a table, cards, tokens, a board, and hands about to play. Artifacts & Trolls, The Owl, Summer Picnic Memory Game, Storyteller, and Kaleido as protagonists. Chilean artist-design aesthetic, contemporary graphics, warm yellow background with black and white elements, sophisticated editorial photography, no text inside the image. The image should convey “a gift that eventually becomes a game night.”

For Father's Day, there is a much better alternative to giving something else to keep in a drawer: give a game.

At Proyecto Ensamble, board games are not generic objects. They are artist-designed games, illustrated and made to share, compete, talk, remember, or simply discover a different kind of gameplay.

1. Artifacts & Trolls: Strategy, Cards, and Betrayal

Artifacts & Trolls combines independent illustration, cards, fast strategy, and confrontation.

2. The Owl: Archaeology of a Betting Game

The Owl reimagines an old French court betting game as an artist-designed board game, especially appealing to people who enjoy history and graphic objects.

3. Summer Picnic Memory Game

The Summer Picnic Memory Game transforms a classic into a portable graphic piece that can be played and shared.

4. Storyteller: Play by Inventing Stories

Storyteller turns the classic paper cootie catcher into a game of storytelling, mystery, and conversation.

5. Kaleido: A Game That Is Also a Design Object

Kaleido turns play into an interactive addition-and-subtraction experience, combining design, play, and thinking.

6. The Complete Board Games Collection

If the dad you are shopping for enjoys discovering new games, the collection brings Proyecto Ensamble's five board games together in one place.

7. A Gift That Becomes a Game Night

The best part of giving a game is that it does not end when it is opened. It can become an afternoon, a rematch, a family story, or a new tradition.
