PapJam is a new board game jam taking place in Copenhagen this fall!

What is a game jam you might ask!

Well, a game jam is a bunch of people getting together and creating games. And with board games (unlike video games), that means you don't need to know anything other than how to play a board game.

The event is for everyone, from veteran board game designers to all those who love board games and have always wanted to try making one of their own.

The jam will take place in Kulturhuset Indre By the weekend of September 22nd - 24th 2017.

Schedule:

Friday:

15:30-16:30

Jonas Resting-Jeppesen and Mads Brynnum will entertain and en-smarten us with some exciting talks.

Mads will talk about the use of stories in board game design.

Jonas will talk about how to use graphic design in prototyping.
