Saturday, May 31
2:00pm - 6:00pm

Learn about the wide range of tabletop (non-digital) games from the people who designed them -- then stick around to play!

Nowadays there's a tabletop game on just about any topic, for just about any person. One reason: there's a lot more, and more diverse, people designing games! Learn about the wide range of games you can play and how they're made -- then play something new with your neighbors.

Panelists
Angela Bell designed and self-published "How Much Do You Really Know?", the ultimate FBI-themed card game.


Elizabeth Hargrave designed Wingspan, Undergrove, Tussie Mussie, and Mariposas.


Josh Heath is the COO of High Level Games. He writes, edits, produces, and publishes tabletop games. Horror is his jam.


Samphire Savage is one-half of the design duo at MothSpire, making analog games for thoughtful togetherness.
