Five Star Gift Ideas

For a Father's Day gift, it's wonderful that your dad enjoys board game designing. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that you could consider:

1. Board Game Design Book: Help your dad enhance his skills and knowledge by giving him a book on board game design. There are several great options available, such as "The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses" by Jesse Schell or "Game Design Workshop: A Playcentric Approach to Creating Innovative Games" by Tracy Fullerton. These books provide valuable insights and techniques that can inspire and guide him in his board game designing journey.

2. Customized Game Design Kit: Consider putting together a personalized game design kit for your dad. Include items like blank game boards, cards of various sizes, dice, markers, and other art supplies. This kit will allow him to experiment with different game mechanics and design elements as he creates unique board games. You could even consider adding a special touch by engraving his name or a meaningful message onto the kit.

3. Kickstarter Support: Keep an eye out for board game design projects on Kickstarter. Many aspiring game designers rely on crowdfunding platforms to bring their creations to life. Find a project that resonates with your dad's interests and values, and pledge your support on his behalf. This not only shows thoughtfulness but also gives him the opportunity to follow the development of the game and potentially collect a copy once it's released.

4. Attend a Board Game Design Workshop or Convention: Look for local workshops or conventions that focus on board game design. Sign your dad up for a workshop where he can learn from experienced designers and network with others who share his passion for creating games. This kind of hands-on experience can be incredibly valuable for him to develop new skills and gather fresh ideas for his own designs.

5. Create a Custom Board Game Together: Put your creativity to the test and collaborate with your dad to create a custom board game together. This could be a fun and meaningful project to bond over. Discuss themes, mechanics, and rules and work together on designing the game board, cards, and other components. Not only does this gift let your dad know you value his passion, but it also creates lasting memories and a unique game that you can play together as a family.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is to show your dad that you appreciate and support his interests. By choosing a meaningful and personal gift related to his love for board game designing, he will undoubtedly feel the thoughtfulness and care you put into finding something special for him.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he welcomed you in this world.
