Deconstructing Games Sessions

The best way to understand how games work is to play them. With that in mind, we’ve implemented a series of sessions called Deconstructing Games. During the first half of a session, attendees play or observe a game. During the second half, there’s a discussion deconstructing the game, exploring how the mechanics can be applied in a learning context.
