My son wants to make board games, and I want to be involved in more social groups. To this end, I would like to join (or start) a group around the theme of making board games. I am still working out the finer details, but the general idea is:
- We read a couple books on the subject, and share our thoughts on them (2-4 weeks, depending on the books)
- Gather to share final thoughts and talk about first ideas
- We plan as many aspects of our individual games as possible; including things like theme and rules (6 weeks, gathering every couple of weeks to show progress)
- We implement as many aspects of our games as possible; including things like art, construction, and print (6 weeks, gathering every couple of weeks to show progress)
- We have 1 (or more) “games nights” where we play each game and give feedback.
