The place are all the brand new board video games? Board video games are enjoyable and produce individuals collectively. In instances like Monopoly or Life, board video games may also replicate cultural norms or values. This workshop from MIT needs to discover that additional and harness it for good.
By way of MIT Information:
Over two weeks, the instructors ran members by way of a crash course within the historical past and mechanics of board sport design, after which set them up with supplies, fabrication instruments, on-line assets, and the objective of delivering a playable sport on the workshop’s remaining Friday showcase. Their message to the fledgling designers: Any concept has gameplay potential.
Specifically, the workshop emphasizes the concept that video games is usually a gateway into social and cultural subjects that in any other case could also be difficult to interact with in each day life.
