Game Design Module

The Game Design module primarily focused on understanding the different stages of the design process and design thinking by engaging in designing a tabletop game. As the students started to understand and engage in stages of the design process, such as research, ideation, prototyping, evaluation, and articulation, they also understood that the process is non-linear, iterative, and feedback based.

This module was based on the various studies conducted by the students as part of their field studio in Varanasi. Drawing inspiration from the city’s unique spatial character, urban fabric, architecture, elements, culture, rituals, crafts, and activities, students created various tabletop games tailored for players aged 17-20 years.
