Title: Demystifying Board Game Design

Description: Dive into the enthralling world of game creation with our online course, "Demystifying Board Game Design," offered by IDC, IIT Bombay through Swayam. This course, not just another typical lecture series, emphasizes hands-on learning where theory meets practice. Delivered in a vibrant, playful format, it reflects over a decade of ingenious pedagogical approaches to teaching game design.

What sets this course apart is its lively delivery, stemming from actual classroom experiences from January 2019. You will witness lectures interspersed with real-time student projects, where participants grapple with design challenges and share insights, enhancing the interactive learning journey.

The curriculum is expertly crafted to alternate between theoretical understanding and practical assignments. By engaging with both small and major projects, you’ll explore game design through direct application, embracing failures as learning pivots. This process not only bolsters your understanding but ensures a comprehensive grasp of game designing through iterative practice and self-driven learning.

While the course extensively covers educational games, drawing from our authors' specialized experiences, it also provides ample universally applicable content geared towards designing games for fun and entertainment. Every segment of the course is engineered to simplify the complex art of game design, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone interested in the field.

Special Note: Enrollment is open for individuals passionate about game design. For an enriched experience, we recommend participating as part of a trio, as collaborative play-testing forms a core component of the learning process.
