Game Design Masterclass

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR 2025

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.

Applications are now closed for 2025.

Tickets for the 2026 event will go on sale from 1st March 2026
