Is This A Game?
Welcome To The World's Most Unique Game Exhibition
By Patrick Engro
Summary
There are many analog game conventions around the world and these feature thousands of new designs every year, all of them have something subtly unique about them whether it be a slight change on a well-known mechanic or an interesting new theme.
The best showcase of this is an exhibition called: Is This a Game? and it features unique exhibits from Japan's best analog game designers.
Let me explain why it is a bucket list exhibition for anyone interested in games and game design.
Many of the designers participating in the exhibition were featured on my list of anticipated games at Tokyo Game Market Fall 2019.
Fountain created two exhibits, one looked like a normal board game called In the Forest that had a bunch of unique components in the box but no rules.
The game only begins when an owner of the game passes away.
The game he created for the exhibition was a sprawling game spanning the entire 10 day exhibition length.
