PaperJam Game Jam: Don't Look Up

A game design evening that works like a book club: everyone plays the same game beforehand, the room pulls apart why it works, then builds paper prototypes inspired by it. This edition takes Don't Look Up, a game about hoarding advantage while keeping everyone else distracted. The shape of the night is discussion, dinner from the takeaways on Bethnal Green Road, prototyping with materials provided, then playing each other's prototypes. Hosted by William Wong in the Committee Room. Some familiarity with board games or game design helps but is not required. Why go: it is a rare hands-on systems-design session rather than a talk, and mechanics thinking transfers directly to product work. Best for designers, product people and anyone who thinks in incentives.
