Monopoly, Risk, Carcassonne and Backgammon. We all know them, and boardgames are the backbone and true godfather of all game design. So together with the Danish boardgame award Guldbrikken, SpilBar 11 focuses on the cardboard, the plastic pawns and the dices. Yeah we?re going physical.
First will Eric Hautemont ? CEO of Days of Wonder makers of boardgames such as ?Ticket to Ride? and ?Small World? ? discuss the pros and cons of designing board games, both physical and digital, from a historical perspective, from a business angle and perhaps most importantly from a game design standpoint.
After that Game Director Thomas L?fgren from IO Interactive speaks about his troublesome relationship with designing both physical and digital games. Thomas has?practised?many forms of digital design in the fields of web design, online games, interactive tv and video games, but why does a few pieces of cardboard cause him so much trouble? Thomas talks about the differences in digital (computer) and analog (cardboard) game design and takes us on a trip?through?his challenges with creating his own board games ? a discipline he finds much harder and more impenetrable than creating digital games.
SpilBar 11 is concluded by the annual award ceremony for the Danish boardgame award Guldbrikken (?The Golden Pawn?), where we hand out the awards for the best board games of 2012. Furthermore we would like to launch the new and free Danish boardgame magazine called ?Brikker&Br?t? (?Pawns&Boards?) to the world, so please join us get physical on September 20th in central Copenhagen.
