🎲 It’s Game O’Clock in Vratsa: Board Game Jam VOL. 4 Brought the Fun!
On July 5th and 6th, Vratsa transformed into a vibrant hub of creativity and play as Board Game Jam VOL. 4 brought the city to life with energy, imagination, and good vibes. The event was a blast with young people, families, and board game enthusiasts of all ages.
Targovska Street turned into a bustling open-air game lab, where over 60 young creators jumped into the full board game design journey — from ideas to working prototypes, and live playtests with curious visitors. The atmosphere was electric, full of inspiration, laughter, and hands-on fun.
At the same time, brand-new Bulgarian board games were showcased and played by both locals and guests. These games sparked fresh ideas and offered young minds the chance to level up their creativity and gain real-world insights straight from game creators themselves.
The FECE team was excited to join the event and showcase our board game, “Spaces for Future”, developed as part of the Green E.Th.I.Cs project. We’re incredibly grateful for the feedback from our first wave of players — your insights are already helping us refine and improve the game for an even better play experience.
It was truly inspiring to be part of such a vibrant, youth-driven community — full of creativity, imagination, and a shared love for games.
SPACES FOR FUTURE is a race game for two teams, along the lines of the Game of the Goose, a traditional Italian game dating back to the 16th century.
The 63 spaces describe a journey from today to the year 2100: what will life on planet Earth be like in the next century? The choices we make today (not only the individual ones) will have a significant impact on it.
This game works in reverse: your goal is to LOSE CO2, NOT GAIN IT!
You start with 10 tonnes (t) of CO2 and, as soon as a team reaches the final “2100” space, the team with the lowest CO2 wins!
