Elan would be protected by a patent for her new board game concept. Patents protect inventions and allow the inventor to exclude others from making, using, or selling the invention without permission. If she has a unique game mechanic or a novel design, she can apply for a patent. Additionally, copyright could apply to the specific artwork or text used in the game, but a patent is specifically for the idea and function of the game itself.
