“Always winter but never Christmas.” ― C.S. Lewis

Back at home for xMas!! We're apparently not a very imaginative bunch, us organisers of GameCraft, because this year for Christmas we're giving all you fans of game craftingness...wait for it...another GameCraft! Yay. Party noises.

We're holding this one in The Digital Hub's Digital Exchange building on Crane Street (near the Guiness Storehouse on Thomas Street) on the 7th of December. There will be cake (not a lie!), and perhaps some other festive delicacy, like...eh...jam...and ridiculous hats. As always coffee and tea and some snacks will be available in the morning, sandwiches at lunch and your 5 EUR entry fee will go towards pizza at the end.

This one will be an 11 hour game jam. If you recently took part in Unplugged GameCraft, you are super welcome to come and make another board game or go mad and do a video game. We loved your board games and would love to see more of that (feedback on a better way to judge this would be amazing, email dublingamecraft [at] gmail... to help with this).

This is how we roll:
