MULTIPLATFORM 3: REMAKE, REUSE, REPLAY!

DAY 1 THE ‘REMAKE, REUSE, REPLAY’ GAME JAM

The game jam challenges participants to take existing tabletop games and ‘remake’ them by creating new rulesets that breathe new life into familiar titles. The Jam will let us consider new ways of playing games that challenge models of consumption and extend the lifespan of the products gamers consume. Participants will work in teams, each guided by a game designer, choosing a game from our library to work on. The rules are simple: take the components you have and make something new. Following the jam, one team will be declared the winner and (copyright permitting) all rulesets will be made freely available online under a Creative Commons licence.

DAY TWO: ‘REMAKE, REUSE, REPLAY’ SYMPOSIUM

Day 2 will open with a plenary address from Dr Darshana Jayemane (Abertay University). We will then dedicate the day to academic papers for which we invite submissions. Plus, we will be hosting an expert panel featuring academics and game makers from a range of backgrounds.
