PaperJam Game Jam: 1 in 8 Billion

​PaperJam Game Jam is like a book club, but instead of a book we play a videogame, and as well as discussing it, we make paper prototypes inspired by it!

​This time, we’re looking at 1 in 8 Billion: "Right now, about four babies are born every second. You become one of them and live that one life all the way to its end. Where you are born, and to whom, you don’t get to choose. Just as you didn’t."

​All are welcome, but some basic familiarity with boardgames or game design will be helpful. It generally goes like this:

• ​Arrive at the event having played 1 in 8 Billion. If you don’t find time to play, don’t let that stop you from coming.

• ​We discuss the game: Why is it fun? What are the systems in it and how do they work? etc

• ​We eat dinner together: there are a dozen places on the street that do takeaway of various cuisines.

• ​We try and make paper prototypes inspired by the game. A selection of materials are provided, but feel free to bring your own.

• ​We play and discuss each others’ prototypes.
