This panel both introduces audience to the important components of good game design and takes audience input to create the rough outline of a game. Harry Thompson is developing a video game, the other panelists have participated in developing card, board and role-playing games. While the game concept that will be developed in this panel will probably be a card or board game, discussion will cover the elements common to all games and those unique to specific types, whether tabletop or those using video/computer/phone platforms.
