Wannabe Board Game Designer

Earliest date for game components to be available is October 2, 2025 (the day after the close of entries for last year’s contest). Any game which appeared before this is not eligible.

Submissions close October 1, 2026. No further entries will be accepted after this date, but existing entries may be further developed. By this date, entries must be playable, with all components and rules available for download, though these need not necessarily be the final versions.
