Program Description

Event Details

Do you love board games? Have you ever wanted to create your own? In this hands-on workshop, you'll become a game designer as you explore the key elements that make board games fun and exciting—rules, strategy, themes, and challenges. We'll start by discussing our favorite games and what makes them great. Then, you'll brainstorm ideas, design your game board, create rules, and develop unique game pieces. Whether it’s a race to the finish, a game of strategy, or a brand-new adventure, your imagination is the only limit! By the end of the workshop, you'll have a one-of-a-kind board game to take home and play with family and friends. Get ready to roll the dice on creativity and bring your game to life! 

 

Must be at least 8 years old to participate.
