#Jenga meaning in korean professional#

Kevin really pulled out all the stops when organising the event and it created a fun yet professional atmosphere, which is important as I believe it is the event’s strength and what sets it apart from any other event I’ve attended. A big raffle saw people walking away with even more games and even a Vincent Dutrait original and there was plenty of casual gaming and showing off of projects going on. There were also two tournaments, one for Jenga (which is a sight and hear to see I assure you) as well as Bruno’s new game: Kingdomino with ample prizes handed out to participants. I saw some pretty good games there, some needed work but they all had potential, we may even see as HGG projects later on, who knows! Obviously for myself it was from a Kickstarter perspective but Anita and Takerube were also present to offer advice for the traditional market.

Speeches aside, we also sat down for some one-to-one “coaching” sessions with authors to look at their games and give them some advice on how to develop them. Therefore, saying that the audience was interested and invested would be an understatement. We were exceptionally well received by Kevin and the event went off flawlessly, which is pretty impressive by itself! Over 200 artists, authors, publishers and teachers (educative board games being a big thing on Korea) turned out to list to us and sat through hours of “lectures” before barraging us with their own question. Now I can only speak for myself and Vincent, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that all the speakers had an amazing time. Dutrait and myself! Through all this the participants learned about creating games, illustrating them and getting them onto the market, whether it be European, Asian or Kickstarter! Organised by our own Kevin of Mandoo Games, he secured an amazing location in Seoul before inviting industry professionals from all over the world to speak about their adventures and share their knowledge.Īmongst those very generously invited to Korea by Kevin was the creator of Jenga Leslie Scott, Anita Landgraf of White Castle, Nobuaki Takerube from Japan Brand, an author who needs no introduction Bruno Cathala as well as M. The MCBD or Master Class of Boardgame Design was an event meant to stimulate and titillate these new actors in the board gaming industry.

Rising 5 is just one of the great projects to be coming out of Korea and we’re certain to see many more over the coming years.

#Jenga meaning in korean full#

The Korean board gaming market is fascinating, it’s full of some very bright and creative individuals that have started to turn their efforts to what is an emerging new market in their country. So first of all, what exactly IS the MCBD ? I mean I’ve mentioned it multiple times under the header of “a special board gaming event in Korea” but that could be many things, so let me elaborate.
