are usually sort of aspirational, like “I am introducing myself to you in this way so that you will understand me as belonging to the aforementioned category.” I put “game designer” in my bio, but in this case it’s less of an aspiration that it is an empirical observation about myself. ![]() The words you use in your bio to describe yourself-like “Allison Parrish is a poet and programmer” etc. This talk is going to be about my contribution to the design process-in particular, I’m going to walk you through the computational analysis I did and some of the tools I made to make Rewordable possible, and how that process fed into playtesting to produce the game that you all know and love.īut the talk is also a bit about me trying to contextualize the work I did on Rewordable as part of a larger set of concerns that I have as a poet and artist. Clarkson Potter, an imprint of Penguin Random House, published the game last August. We were in the NYU Game Center’s Incubator program in 2016 and were funded on Kickstarter that same year. There are also reward tokens that you can earn from the words that you make each turn. ![]() On each turn, you form a word from cards currently in play or in your hand.

Introduction Rewordable promotional image (I also gave it a new title, to better reflect the talk’s contents.) Some portions of this talk are derived from a different talk I gave at the Independent Games Summit at GDC 2018, which itself was based on a Medium post from 2016. This version has been lightly updated with clarifications and references. This post is adapted from my notes for a talk I gave at Practice 2018 called “Word Breakers: Rewordable and the raw material of word games”. ![]() Rewordable versus the alphabet fetish Rewordable versus the alphabet fetish
