This year’s Game Chef competition will be from August 17 to 26! Game Chef is an annual analog/tabletop game design competition that has been running since 2002. On the first day we’ll announce the theme and four “ingredients”, and you’ll have nine days to design and submit a new game incorporating them.
Game Chef is a great way to get started in game design if you’ve never tried it before. My very first game, Spy Party (about spies rendezvouing at a nail-painting party) was a Game Chef entry in 2014. Veteran game designers are also welcome, of course!
I’m the interim Global Coordinator as well as a co-coordinator of the English-language division, so feel free to ask any questions you have about the competition.
