Session Name: | Board Game Design Day: Designing Great UX into Your Game Board and Pieces |
Speaker(s): | Jason Schklar |
Company Name(s): | UX is Fine! |
Track / Format: | Design |
Overview: | Over the past couple of years, game UX expert Jason Schklar has been running a "Board Game" UX exercise with various groups of video game developers as a way of thinking about how "board and pieces" design influences the learnability of a board game. Specifically, he has participants figure out how to play board games without reading the instructions/rule book. In this talk, Jason will present a summary of findings during these sessions (including sessions with kids at his local elementary school board game club) and some tips for making games easier and more fun to learn. |
