You’ll design and build your own board game that raises awareness about a real-world issue you care about — whether social, environmental, or cultural.

You’ll go through the full game design process:

creating a concept,

designing gameplay, and

making your own pieces using tools like 3D printers and laser cutters.

Your final game will not only be fun to play but will also spark important conversations and inspire change.

؜Games for Good Final Project Expectations

؜You will design and build a board game that raises awareness about a real-world issue — social, environmental, or cultural.

You will use cardboard, paper, and digital fabrication tools like 3D printing or laser cutting to create custom game pieces and boards that bring their concept to life.

Your game should include a meaningful story, mechanics that support your cause, and opportunities for players to reflect, collaborate, or take action.
