[GAMBIT-UROPS-summon] GAMBIT Gayme Jam - Saturday, May 12th - make non-digital board/card/LARP/tabletop/etc… games with us! - registration open now!

[Richard Eberhardt]

Guess what, world? It's time for the first ever...

GAYME JAM
(Y? Because we like you!)
Wait, what? What the heck does that even mean?
In the past, GAMBIT has hosted game jams, digital and non, on a wide variety of subjects of social or political interest, such as the Occupy theme at Boston Game Jam or the recent Equal Pay Jam.

Well, that's what we're doing here, for the awesome glittery* rainbow that is the LGBTQ community. On May 12, 2012, the GAMBIT Game Lab will host a one day cardboard jam dedicated to exploring the many facets of being a queer person in the modern world.

* Note: glitter not compulsory, but highly recommended

The goal of this jam is to create board games that deal with or reflect some aspect of life as a queer individual. Now, I know what you're saying. "That's insane! That could be anything! What is wrong with you!" Fear not! We know how crazy huge that topic is. That's why we'll be giving you a few small rules -- a theme, a design challenge -- to help you focus your efforts. But really, the goal is to see just what great ideas you can pull out of that great big field.
