- **Event Description**: Ever thought about creating your own board game?

Join us at the CUDO Plays Season 13 Kickoff!

CUDO Plays is a 6-month-long board game design competition aimed at teaching teams how to bring their original tabletop games to life. Come learn about the competition and how you can form a team to build your own game! You can also be a part of CUDO Plays individually, and you don't need to be a designer to be involved in the competition. 

We're doing something new with Kickoff this season though. Instead of just presentation plus Q&A, we're doing a whole afternoon of games from past years of CUDO Plays! So come out and learn about the competition while also playing some cool games by local designers.

The Season 13 Community Kickoff will be in the Champaign Public Library, Robeson Pavilion Rooms A & B.
