Mark November 9-10 in your calendars, because TAG’s GAMERella is happening again this year! This is our 6th year and as always, GAMERella is inviting self-identified women, gender non conforming folks, indigenous makers, people with different abilities as well as anyone who feels they haven’t had a chance to make a (video, board or hybrid) game.
As always, there will be workshops, mentors, snacks and an amazing keynote speaker to make sure you are inspired, supported and safe!

THEME?
This year’s theme is RUMBLE
WORKSHOPS?
The organizers of GAMERella wish to help any doubtful participants discover their hidden game-making talents. As a result, TAG, has created five workshops involving the use of free or almost-free software, to be held at Concordia University in preparation for the event. The material in these workshops cover jam tips, game making and visual art.
