Board Game Design

The Makery || Game Design || 6th-12th Grade

In this class, students designed and built their own interactive board game from concept to completion. The curriculum blended lessons in game development (covering storytelling, heuristics, and gameplay mechanics) with hands-on training in drafting, vector design, laser cutting, and 3D modeling. Students created custom game pieces, laser-cut boards, cards, tokens, and other components, resulting in a fully realized, playable game of their own design.

  • Design Software: Inkscape (vector design), TinkerCAD (3D modeling)

  • Fabrication Tools: Laser cutter, 3D printer, printing

  • Game Design: Storytelling, mechanics, graphic design, and balance

  • Hands-On Skills: Scaling, assembly, surface design, and finishing
