TIMber - MIT Project

Beavers stack timber to build dams with lodges and channels to help them access the outside. As nature’s best engineer they became MIT’s mascot in 1914, under the name of TIM. TIMber is a coffee table game that takes inspiration from their ingenuity. To win you need to build a dam and help Tim reach the bottom to exit and go for a swim. The design was done in collaboration with a group of MIT graduate students from the IDM program.
