Preptember Hacktoberbest With Board Games

Hacktoberfest is an annual worldwide celebration held during the month of October, encouraging open source contributions. Let's get prepared for it!

In this fun event, we bring two engaging games that will not only deepen your understanding of open source but also enhance your coding skills in a fun and interactive way.

🌟 Open StarTer Village - A Journey into Open Source

🎲 2-4 players

This is a captivating board game developed by the Open Culture Foundation that breaks free from the notion that only coding can change the world. Dive into a world where diverse talents, from coding to marketing to law, unite to create something incredible. Experience the thrill of open source projects, from inception to realization, and discover how technology can truly impact society. Join us to enhance the diversity of contributors in the open source community and to learn about real open source projects.

🌟 Potatoe Pirates Battle Chips - A spud-tech-ular coding card game

🎲 2-6 players
