For this 4-part series of workshops, we will explore tabletop game design! These are no-experience-required workshops that introduce attendees to making games with cards, dice, tokens, boards, or in the mind with plenty of rules!

Part 2: Card games, Tokens, and Digitizing Simple Drawings

Second in this series is an information and design session where we will explore how Canva or Photoshop can be used to make cards and tokens for tabletop games.

This means learning the language of card design and looking at a history of playing card sizes. We’ll talk about using cards, tokens, and or dice to create a game and how we might measure outcomes and rules in card and dice games.

Canva allows free access to images that can help us build and print sheets of cards or tokens, but we will also explore using our own custom drawings along with Photoshop typography.

Participants will leave with a custom sheet of mini-cards or game tokens!

Please register for each workshop separately. Other workshops in the series
