Move over Paint Nite, there’s a new make-a-thing-that-you-would-expect-to-come-out-really-poorly-but-it’s-surprisingly-good-and-now-you-get-to-take-it-home-and-enjoy-it in town. That’s right, you can make your own board game. And by board game, we’re not talking about some Candy Land ripoff, we’re talking a legit worker-placement strategy game built around the theme of your choice. We’re partnering with a Northeastern professor of board game design (yeah, that’s a thing) to help you make your masterpiece in three hours flat. We’ll teach you the core principles of game design, help you brainstorm a theme, give you all the materials you need, coach you through the process, playtest each other’s games, then give you the next steps if you feel like taking your game to another level when you get home.
Come with your own idea or figure it out on the spot. Come by yourself or with a group of friends, ready to design the game as a team.
