Have you ever wondered how games are designed and what makes them fun and exciting? This is your chance to create your own. We will begin with a maze design on paper, then this will be translated to wood and cut on our laser cutter. You can personalize your maze and create meandering designs offering thoughtful challenges.

Next, we will construct the traditional game El Juego Del Sapo (the game of the frog - Spain), Juego De La Rana (game of the toad - Peru, Uruguay, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Argentina), or simply Rana (Colombia). Once played by the royal court of the Inca; this game is a fun, skillful, and competitive way to pass the time with friends.
