Designing physical play presents specific game design challenges. You need to account for physical skills and limitations. You need to track and communicate the state of the game in different ways. Fortunately, there are a lot of mechanics we can build on, from folk games to social games to sports. In this two-day workshop, we’ll explore various aspects of the design of physical play and games by examining classic games and creating our own new ones.
Lead by Greg Trefry, Director of the Come Out and Play Festival organizer and game designer at Gigantic Mechanic.
