How To Steal Like an Artist »
I as reading the forums over at The Board Game Designers Forum when I spotted a post about a Board Game Jam in Toronto.
It’s exactly the kind of thing I like to to. If I could attend, I totally would. As you may or may not know, I used to run a “Gamestorming” event at (the now defunct) ProtoCon at TX A&M. We’d start with nothing and we’d make up as much of a game as we could in one hour. I’d take what we came up with and do the little bit of extra work needed to finish the game, and put it up as a free print-and-play in the Games District.
Sadly, I only got to run two gamestorms before ProtoCon stopped. The first gamestorm produced Cetacean Ascension Moonbase 8. The second gamestorm produced Divine Nuke Wrath.
My point? Bringing a game from zero to finished in a short period of time is tons of fun! I sincerely envy anyone who gets to go to the Board Game Jam. If you’re close enough to go, and you don’t, do me a favor and kick yourself in the shin for me? Thanks so much.
Board Game Jam is happening Jan 29th and 30th. Registration starts at 8:30 AM on Saturday. It’s taking place at George Brown College on Saturday and Sunday.
