Calling all creative minds and game lovers! Room at the Table Inc invites you to The Benalla Boardgame Project – a one-of-a-kind experience where storytelling, design, and local pride collide. Kicking things off, boardgame designer and artist Alex Wynter will share their expertise on what makes a boardgame great and how art brings games to life. Then, it’s your turn to roll the dice and help create the ultimate Benalla-inspired boardgame!
Your mission? Showcase the magic of Benalla Rural City. From its vibrant street art to its charming rural towns, we’re turning local landmarks, attractions, and hidden gems into an epic game of exploration and discovery. Together, we’ll craft a game that’s not just fun to play but a vibrant tribute to our community.
This is your chance to step behind the scenes, flex your creative muscles, and bring something truly unique to life. Whether you’re a seasoned boardgame aficionado or just love a creative challenge, this workshop has a seat at the table for you. Plus, you’ll leave with plenty of inspiration and maybe even a sneak peek at Benalla’s next big hit!
Don’t miss this playful and imaginative addition to the festival. Come for the boardgame brilliance, stay for the connection, and take part in creating a slice of Benalla history.
And then if you want, join us at Room at the Table Inc for a regular Saturday Night Boardgames from 5-10pm and play test the games created in the afternoon.
