- Tabletop Game Design

Catalog description

A project driven course on how to design and prototype tabletop games, including card games, board games, and role-playing games. Through readings, discussion sessions, and various assignments, students will learn about theoretical, logistical, and professional aspects of game design and publication. Lab sessions will often be spent within the IdeaLab, working collaboratively to craft and test games using the equipment and supplies there. By the end of the course, every student will have had the opportunity to design at least 4 different playable games (across multiple genres) and receive extensive feedback on each design.
