The goal of this Jam is to get together a bunch of zine makers to make more game zines! Our world is sorely lacking with Game Zines as there is never enough!
If you didn't already know a zine is a small self made publication of some kind, either over multiple pages in a book form or literally any other form you can dream of, but most stereotypically a zine is an 8 page mini book folded from a single piece of paper!
shown here :))
And to then make it a game zine, the next step is to make it interactive in any way. Whether that be a pick a path book, a crossword, rules for a new board game or even rules for a new sport! Additionally! If you're in Melbourne and nearby the Sticky Institute you can come participate in person in more ways listed bellow underneath the rules! Happy Zine-ing Zinesters :D
(and happy Pride too if you're reading this in June!)
