Since the dawn of time 🌅, well, since the first GameCraft in 2012, we witnessed many games made, be it digital 👾or ones played with a roll of the 🎲. We want to bring these two sides to come together and join us at THE MEGA GAMECRAFT SHOWDOWN! 🤜🤛
📢We are calling all game-makers and those curious about this craft to this challenge of Digital Games Vs Analogue Games!
🙌A huge thanks to Talent Garden for hosting us!
