Design Board Games for Socio-Political Change

Board games that engage and educate can transform social events into social change.

Board games are a great way to socialize and reflect a culture's beliefs and values. They are also one of the fastest-growing hobbies today.

All of this in mind, it is easy to see how playing board games can influence people's views on important issues. These games can be used to promote social and political change.

This three-week course is offered by the Abertay University School of Design and Informatics. You'll learn how to analyze the use of boardgames in socio-political debates and how to create your own game design concept.

Before you can start designing games for social change, you will need to know the basics, processes, and techniques of good design.

You'll be able to play, analyse, deconstruct, and deconstruct games that were created to benefit society.

Once you have a good understanding of the theory behind creating board games that encourage sociopolitical reforms you will be able to make it happen yourself.

You'll be able to create your own ideas, and you'll also benefit from the constructive feedback you receive from your peers.
