CNX 154 - Engineering Boardgames

Description
Boardgaming has exploded in popularity, moving far beyond well-known classics like chess and Monopoly to a large range of genres, themes, and designs. Modern game creators seek to create fun and sometimes educational experiences by integrating many design aspects such as strategy and mechanics with narrative experience through artwork and storyline, as well as the social interactions among players. In this course, students will play several games and combine this experience with readings from multiple perspectives on game design and community to analyze these complex systems and sharpen their critical academic skills through writing and discussion.
