Free Play 145 | Games That Teach Us Things

SHOW NOTES

There is massive potential for games to be able to teach us new skills, especially as technology gives developers and designers new ways to be creative.

Community Content Producer Kyle Matthews sent us Overisles is a tabletop RPG currently on Kickstarter to teach sign language and promote deaf awareness. The game is developed by Hatchlings Games along with the deaf community and a high school D&D team. We dig into the details about Overisles and other games that can teach valuable skills this week on the Free Play podcast.
