Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior game design experience?

No, this course starts with fundamentals and builds systematically. You just need enthusiasm for board games and willingness to prototype and test your ideas.

What materials will I need for prototyping?

Basic craft supplies like cardboard, paper, scissors, markers, and small objects for tokens. Everything can be found at office supply stores for under $30.

How long does it take to complete a playable game?

Following the course structure, you'll have a testable prototype within the first module and a refined game by course completion, typically 4-6 weeks of part-time work.

Will my game be ready for publication after this course?

You'll have a solid foundation and playable game, but commercial publication requires additional steps like professional artwork, manufacturing research, and extensive playtesting that go beyond this course scope.

Can I apply these principles to digital games too?

While focused on physical board games, the core design principles of player psychology, balance, and clear rules absolutely apply to digital game design as well.
