Game Design Masterclass

The Theory Behind Successful Game Creation

The Game Design Masterclass is a crash course in the theory and practice of creating exciting board games and card games.

Led by James Wallis, a professional game-maker with decades of experience.

You’ll discover:

* How games function and why people play them.

* What makes a good game?

Included in the session, you’ll work in small teams to conceive, design, build, playtest, and refine a complete game which you can take home with you.
You’ll also be allowed to test two other new games.
