We live in a golden age of board games: it’s not just Monopoly anymore! Get involved with this blossoming community by playing some of the latest, greatest board games as case studies: what makes them great? Then use what you learn as you work with a camp-mate and create a game together from the ground up. Pick a theme, create your game board and pieces, and customize the rules. By the end of the week, playtest another group’s game, and get feedback on your own, to continue designing and creating at home!
