Join us for an exciting event open to all students who are passionate about the humanities, game design, and the study of games. Whether you’re into video games, board games, or role-playing games, there’s something here for you! Drop by and participate in stations where you can play LAS-relevant games, learn about gaming clubs on campus, interact with faculty who create and use games in their teaching, or even design your own game prototype. Participants include the Guild of Boardgamers & Roleplayers, the Philosophy Club, and the new Game Design Major. Discover how LAS disciplines such as Religious Studies, Philosophy, History, and English contribute to immersive world-building, games for education, storytelling, and the contextualization of games within human cultures. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to explore the intersection of the humanities and gaming!
