Hands-On Tabletop Game Design, AKA The Meta Bus Game Jam

Hi all,

As part of this year’s Meta Bus (http://metab.us), I am hosting a hands-on event where you’ll team up with other makers and design a tabletop game in a day. “Tabletop” includes board games, card games, dice games, and pretty much anything else you can play on a table, in real life.

For those not familiar with the idea of a game jam: it’s like a jam session in music. It’s about creating something quickly, creatively and flexibly. Even if you’ve never tinkered with designing a game before, a game jam is a great place to jump in. We’ll be breaking into teams so you can have another person to bounce ideas off of, and providing all the materials.

You can register and get more info at http://metab.us/jam. Tickets are free but we are raising money for Child’s Play Charity, so if you can, instead of paying a registration fee throw them a couple bucks. http://metab.us/fundraiser

Hope to see you all there :smile:
