Important: This course has changed! We originally were going to have the kids build a game over the course of 6 weeks, but based on student and parent feedback, we decided to make this a drop-in club where game play and design are the focus. We will add the game building class again in the spring.

Join us for the Gamer Club! Kids can drop in once, come every week, or just join in every once in a while. Each week we will explore topics in game design. We will start off with a brief discussion of the evening’s topic, and then the kids will play games that illustrate the topic. After we’re done playing, we’ll finish the night with another discussion about what the kids learned about the topic. Optional homework will be assigned!

Tonight’s topic is Rules & Procedures. All games have rules and procedures. We will explore how those rules and procedures affect game play. What happens if there isn’t a common set of rules for each player to follow, or if players just don’t know the rules or procedures? What happens if a player chooses not to follow the rules?
