Asset Creation for Board Games with Inkscape (with Ben Parker)

Join Ben for an online workshop on the creation, maintenance, and rapid modification of vector assets as typically utilized for board/card game design. Students will learn how to use Inkscape to lay out card and board graphics, write some rules, and pick up some philosophy/guidance on how modern board game design works.
