If you've had an idea in the back of your mind for a cute little tabletop game but you're new to making games or you just don't have the time, this jam is for you. It's unranked, so there's no pressure, and you have all the time between September 13 and January 13 to put it together. 

When I say "itsy-bitsy," I mean anything from a business card to about 10 pages. Let's just set it at 13 pages max, in honor of the start and end dates. You can make any kind of tabletop game: a full-fledged storytelling RPG, a printable board game, a solo journaling game, or that unique idea you have been wanting to share.

January 13, 2026 is the day I turn 55. Your game would be a particularly nice gift to me. Just sayin'.
