Have you ever thought about designing your own board game? Did you create any “house rules”? Do you have some prototypes, but don’t know what's next? Maybe you are published but search for a better design structure and know-how?

Join the only gamified board game design course led by 5 industry veterans. Build your first playable prototype step-by-step, and avoid the mistakes that kill most debut projects.

Our first course will take you on a journey to create your first board game using the Pamper playtesting group method.

You’ll learn how we do it, from inspiration research and prototyping through playtesting to preparing to pitch your game to publishers.

Trap

Most courses are just hours of boring videos. You watch them, but you never actually design.

The Solution

You don’t need more videos. You need a system. We will show you the proven Game Ontogenesis Model, which structures the work on your game into five clear sections, each with its own loops.
