Press on Practice

 

Last weekend, PRACTICE happened. The conference – which I helped plan and organize with the other good folks at the NYU Game Center – brought together board and card game designers, videogame designers, and even the Secretary of the NCAA Rules Committee for a weekend of passionate presentations and debate about game design. But don’t take my word for it. Here is some of the great coverage that we’ve gotten on the conference.

• Adrian Sanders at Kill Screen wrote this great overview of the event.
• On Gamasutra, Leigh Alexander wrote several pieces covering specific sessions, but this piece she wrote on the conference closing is a great place to start.
• Designer and PRACTICE speaker David Sirlin also posted a detailed account of his experiences on his blog.

Thanks to everyone that attended the conference – you are the ones that made it so special. We are already talking about next year’s PRACTICE conference. Hope to see you there!
