my Simplified Quick Game Design Workshop


The full  Quick Game Workshop is great for everyone else but me because it's chockablock full of ideas that I can work in elsewhere. It's great if you want a meaty, it's got it all kinda standalone powerhouse lesson.

I wanted to adapt the Quick Game Workshop this year as there are slides that aren't relevant or a little too wordy for me. So I did! I cleaned it up quite a bit and slimmed it down.  

Make a Quick Game: The Race Game This is the Google Presentation.

Blank Race Templates Suitable for printing.

​Will I use the same Handouts? Hmm. Possibly!

Make sure you have a lot of bits! This is probably too much, but I'm a too much as opposed to not enough kinda gal.
