Ever wondered what makes a game fun, exciting or frustrating? What happens when you change the rules?
Step into the shoes of a game designer in this interactive, hands-on workshop. Team up with fellow participants to play a card game, experiment with its rules and discover how small changes can completely transform the gameplay experience.
You'll explore how game designers think about player experiences, from what makes a game exciting and satisfying to what makes it frustrating or unfair. Then, use those insights to improve your game in a second round of play.
Put your creativity to the test, challenge other teams and join a friendly vote for the “Rule of the Day”!
Expect lots of fun, laughter and friendly competition!
