Invent your own board game with AI

An afternoon, a sheet of paper and AI as an idea partner: your child goes from playing the usual to creating a game that is all theirs.

Kids love inventing rules. AI helps them shape their ideas into a real game, which they then draw and play with the family. The ideas are theirs; the AI just lends a hand.

Help me invent a board game to play as a family. Theme: friendly dragons. For 2 to 4 players, rounds of about 20 minutes. Give me: what the board looks like, three simple rules, how you win and a fun surprise card. Ask me one question so the game becomes more mine.
  • Change the theme to whatever they love most: space, animals, football.
  • Draw the board on card and use tokens from home.
  • Play one round and tweak the rules that do not work.
