Board Games Design

A challenge to bring to the table the prototype that passed through your creative mind.

Starting from an essentially practical methodology, we will deconstruct, through the study of real cases, the various mechanisms and elements that make up a modern board game, with the aim of understanding the various stages of its development – from the idea to the graphics, through prototyping, presentation to publishers, etc. The aim of this laboratory is to arrive at a prototype ready to be tested but, above all, to recognise modern board games as objects of high cultural and social value, and ‘playing’ as an act inherent to human nature and healthy interaction.
