Workshopreihe »Game(s) Changer – Süße Felder«
An open workshop series for anyone aged 16 and over who wants to rethink games.
Design: Hiroko Tanahashi
Do you enjoy playing games? Or would you like to change, modify, or completely reinvent them?
At »Game(s)Changer – Süße Felder«, we’ll meet on five Saturdays to play games together, take a closer look at how they work, and try out our own ideas. We’ll change the rules, develop games further, and maybe even invent entirely new ones. You don’t need any previous experience – just curiosity and a desire to play and experiment.
This year, it’s all about agriculture, food, and sugar. We’ll explore games in which fields are cultivated, goods are traded, or sweets are produced. Along the way, we’ll also look at the stories behind sugar: from locally produced beet sugar to trade and consumption, as well as global production chains.
Together, we’ll test games, develop new rules, create game materials, and come up with our own ideas.
