Board Game Designers
Roll the dice, pick a card, place your token…. What do these have in common? They are all things you could do in your very own board game! In this class, creators will learn the building blocks of a basic board game, and then get to design their very own prototype!
Exclusive 
Each day creators will be introduced to new board game design concepts, and then get to try their hand at designing their own games using those concepts! Creators will play different types of board games virtually, learn about game mechanics, develop rule sets, and design their own game assets in Canva.

Week 2 - Make a card! Any card!
Students will use the rules and theme they created in session 1 as a guide to design game assets using Canva. They will learn to quickly draft game board, card, and piece prototypes.
Week 3 - Choose Your Own Mechanics
Students will learn about types of board games that go beyond roll and move. They will explore different win conditions and game mechanics. Then they will begin working on making a more advanced version of their game.
