Discover what it takes to be a board game designer and create your own game during Global Game Jam Next (GGJ Next®). Join museum staff as they lead interactive and hands-on workshops to generate board game ideas. Work with local youth to explore fundamental concepts of game design, including playtesting, game genres, game narrative, and more. Construct paper prototypes of your board game and come up with unique mechanics and rules. Learn about the skills needed to produce a successful board game, such as the importance of teamwork, staying on budget, and prioritizing tasks.
