Board Game Design - From Prototype to Product

Tuesday, April 27, 2021 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

 

This session will draw on the experiences of a panel of game designer who have brought a game to market. The panelists have a variety of different experience in the choices game makers face. Each will share the experience of their path, which will be followed by a moderated discussion. Topics will include:

  • Moving from concept to prototype
  • Play testing prototypes
  • Copyright, patent or open source
  • Options manufacturing and printing
  • Self publishing vs Big Publishers

This will be of interest to anyone with a board game idea or design who is curious about the process and options for bringing the game to the masses.
