In this course, students will play, analyze, and design tabletop games to introduce them to the concepts of game design. We will make good use of the Hampshire Game Library. Assignments will be project-based and are intended to provide both crucial practice of skills and useful additions to a portfolio. The course will include three primary parts. First, students will play and analyze existing games on a weekly basis. Second, students will work in small teams creating initial prototypes highlighting different aspects of game design.
