Tabletop Game Design

Instructor(s): Bill McCrery and Stepper McCrery

Full Day


Indoor games. Board and skill games stacked on a shelf - Britannica ImageQuest

Do you love playing board games? Have you ever wondered what makes a great game work? Have you ever wanted to create one of your own? Spend two weeks exploring what goes into creating a game people will love to play, and create a playable game yourself!

In this course, Stepper and Bill McCrery will help students explore (play!) new games every day. We will dive into the “mechanics” of game design, what makes each game unique, what makes it work (or not work), and how a game goes from an idea to a physical game on the store shelf.
