🎲 Tabletop Game Night: Play, Analyze, Design

Hosted by Lenin Compres and Vas Kottas

Join us for a weekly exploration of tabletop games as systems of interaction, engagement, and social play. Each session features a curated game or games followed by a discussion of the design choices, mechanics, and player dynamics that make it work.

We'll play a variety of games—from cooperative to competitive, strategic to experimental—and examine what they can teach us about designing engaging experiences.

Open to both seasoned gamers and complete newcomers.

These game nights serve as the practical counterpart to Vas's session, Engagement Design in Board Games. Here we'll experience these design principles firsthand through play; in the session, Vas will unpack the theory, mechanics, and engagement strategies behind them.
