3.       Fundamentals of Game Design Class ? New Course at the School of 
Professional Studies (SPS)
CISDD and the CUNY School of Professional Studies are teaming up to offer 
a non-credit mini-course in game design this spring. The course is meant 
to develop both the theoretical and practical tools necessary for 
analyzing and designing games. It will focus largely on paper and 
physical-based projects to help students develop a foundation in 
designing, playtesting, and iteratively re-designing games. Projects will 
include designing card and board games; modifying and creating sports; and 
writing pitches and concepts for video games. The course is not 
computer-science oriented but should appeal to anyone interested in the 
underlying principles of gaming. The instructor, Greg Trefry, is a game 
designer at Gamelab, a New York City-based gaming company, and the 
director of the Come Out & Play Festival (www.comeoutandplay.org), a major 
street games festival. More information is available at:
