Ages 6–14 · Project guide · 3 skill levels
Your child designs a board game from scratch, then makes other people play it. Inventing the theme is the fun part. Balancing the numbers so it is winnable but not easy, and writing rules precise enough that a stranger can follow them without asking, is the part that teaches the most.
