Game Design Masterclass

James Wallis

The Theory of Successful Game Creation

The Game Design Masterclass is a crash course in the theory and practice of creating exciting board games and card games.

Led by James Wallis, a professional game-maker with decades of experience.

You’ll discover:

  • * How games function and why people play them.
  • * What makes a good game?

Included in the session, you’ll work in small teams to conceive, design, build, playtest, and refine a complete game which you can take home with you.
You’ll also be allowed to test two other new games.

This is the first time for a masterclass of this type at the UK Games Expo. The Games Design Masterclass normally costs £30 to attend, but with sponsorship support from Panda Game Manufacturing, UK Games Expo can offer this to you at the reduced cost of £18 for UKGE attendees. The cost includes all game-building materials.
