The type of laws that protect Elan's board game concept from unauthorized use by others would primarily be copyright law, which protects the expression of ideas (such as the specific artwork, graphic design, and written content of the game). Additionally, she may want to consider trademark law for protecting the branding (like the game name and logo) and patent law if there are unique game mechanics or inventions involved that meet the criteria for patentability.
