Geekdom—in partnership with Majlis Shabab—invites you to join the Geekdom Boardgame Bootcamp: a hands-on creative experience where you’ll learn to build your very own game from the ground up.

From curious beginners to passionate strategists, this is your chance to shape the rules, invent the world, and bring your ideas to life.

Over seven interactive sessions, you’ll navigate through the essentials of board game design—from concept and mechanics to storytelling and strategy.

What awaits you:

• Discover the roots and rise of modern board games
• Explore genres, styles, and global game design trends
• Develop your original idea into a playable prototype
• Share your creation with peers, family, and fellow game lovers

Participants will have the opportunity to pitch their games to industry professionals for a chance to win a QAR 5,000 game development fund from Geekdom.

Whether you're into dice rolls or card decks, cooperative play or competitive twists, this bootcamp is your opening move to mastering the art of game design.
