What does it mean to be a "gamer"? Is that someone who loves games or loves to make games? Why not both? Whether you're a high-score hero or a first-time player, this all-ages interactive workshop, led by the experts from New York University's Game Center, is for you! Roll up your sleeves and then roll the dice for an evening of analog exploration as NYU professors and creative professionals present you with the fundamentals you'll need to craft your very own tabletop game. Beginning with a primer on how to modify a familiar classic and with an overview of modern game archetypes, you'll learn the basic principles of design and execution as you decide if your idea is best suited for a board game, a card game, or something completely new! Our team will help you weigh out the best balance of strategy and chance, frustration and fun, complexity and pick-up-and-play, all in service of making your game-night vision a reality.

TLDR? Here’s the gist:

​• FREE event
​• Make art and meet new people
​• Ride solo or bring your friends
​• No prior experience required – just come through and we’ll teach you the rest!
​• Casual vibes make a great hangout
