Board Game Design Deep Dive - 3rd Wednesdays San Francisco
Details
Join us at Gamescape SF on 3rd Wednesdays for a night of gaming and design discussion.
Februrary's Topic: Abstract Strategy Games
These games tend to have little or no luck, perfect information, simple design and mechanics, and little or no theming. Popular games in this category include: Chess, Azul, Hive, Tak, and boop.
IMPORTANT: This is a limited capacity event. You must RSVP on the Gamescape website to guarantee a space and pay the $5 event fee.
Design Deep Dive is an event where we will be playing published games within a certain scope (a specific mechanic, genre, designer, etc) and discussing the design and experience of those games. There will be a selection of games provided as options, and attendees may also bring their own games to share if they fit the month's topic. We are assessing published games, no playtesting allowed for this event.
The event is led by a regular host to greet and coordinate, as well as a rotating "Dive Instructor" that will provide a short presentation and guide discussions on the monthly topic.
This is a fantastic and unique opportunity to play fun games while breaking down what makes them fun. No experience in designing or playtesting is needed.
Organizer: Chaz Glassmaker
