Susa is a hybrid digital distanced board game (a messy term - a board game with both digital and physical components that can be played at a distance) that I designed and built as my master's project.

Susa attempts to evoke the feeling of ancient board games like Chaturanga, Senet, and the Royal Game of Ur while introducing the 'futuristic' digital element. Each playing piece has a resistor inside corresponding with the type of the piece. When the piece is placed on the board, it completes a circuit. The piece is identified by measuring the level of resistance in the completed circuit.
