Let me begin by saying thank you to all the presenters, participants, and attendees of the inaugural CUNY Games Festival! We’re pretty darn pleased with how it turned out and hope to see you at the next one.
I received a few questions from educators during the conference about game mechanics–specifically, how to learn more about them. It’s true that having a wide breadth of knowledge about mechanics can only serve to improve your ability to make games, and although it might be best to learn about mechanics by playing more games, I have definitely found Board Game Geek’s Encyclopedia of mechanics to be helpful. And so I share it with you!
We’re busy putting the finishing touches on preparations for the first annual CUNY Games Festival to be held tomorrow, Friday January 17th!
We have filled our registration capacity so unfortunately cannot accommodate additional registration either today or walk-in registration tomorrow. Follow along all day on Twitter using the hashtag #cgf2014 — we’ll be tweeting up a storm.
We’ll also be using Twitter to take questions for our Plenary Panelists John Black, Joey Lee, Anastasia Salter, Eric Zimmerman, and moderator Robert Duncan. We’ll be livestreaming the Plenary Panel — check the conference website at cunygames.org at 4:30pm to watch!
(Note that actual conference swag may not resemble that depicted below.)
