At the geriatric age of seventeen years old, Carcassonne is one of the elder games of the recent board game renaissance. It remains one of the most enduring, nuanced board games on shelves today. It’s the kind of game even your grandmother can learn to play (and also beat you at). Need help on your board game? Join my community of over 2,000 game developers, artists, and passionate creators.

After the success of our previous games jams in March 2016 and June 2016 , and since the community seemed pretty motivated for a new one, we are organizing a new Godot Community Game Jam that will run from 16 December 2016 to 31 January 2017. As the previous one, it is an informal jam with relatively loose rules, and not much to gain apart from international fame within the Godot community and more experience with using our great engine!

Unlike theme and mechanics, though, I think this distinction is much more useful. The board game industry is growing at a rate of 29% according to ICv2 , which is a clear indicator that the community is experiencing an influx of people who are just realizing how badass this recent board game renaissance has been.
