Have ever wanted to design your own board game? Design Your Destiny is the most approachable way you could learn game design.

First, you read a story about Charlie and Natalie as they get thrust into the future. Then, every couple chapters you play a game as the main characters as they navigate their new surroundings. Each game is broken in some way, and the next few pages guide you on ways you can fix each game. It teaches you some core game design concepts, while giving you the freedom to change the game however you see fit. The final game is left completely open for you to design!

As you read, play, and design, you'll earn stickers that you affix to the back page, which will help the main characters fix the time machine. If you can complete all the tasks and earn enough stickers, then the time machine is fixed, and you can unlock the final chapter of the story!

NOTE: Educators and Group/Club organizers - there are free educator resources, like a downloadable workbook, and a slide deck to help you facilitate this to a group of people!
