About the Event :

The workshop will bring participants around the table to learn and play a unique board game as their base reference for their short design project. In groups, they will select from two different base games, after which they will embark on a simple game critiquing exercise. From their game critique, they will then brainstorm ideas on retheming the game based around their respective subject areas while staying true to the original game mechanic. It will close with a sharing on the academic theories behind the workshop construction and a discussion on how game mechanics and components can be adapted to work within any educational context.
