SUMMARY:FableVision Presents: Day of Play!
DESCRIPTION:All ages welcome \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnCommon Corner\, Boylston St &\, Tremont St\, Boston\, MA 02116 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Emerson Day of Play\n\n\n\nis a day of connection\, fun\, and in-person play at the UnCommon Corner and Harpoon Beer Garden\, located at the corner of Boylston and Tremont in the Boston Common. The event is inspired by the Come Out and Play Festivals in New York\, San Francisco and Philadelphia.Emerson students and local game designers have built six original\, in-person outdoor games to get Bostonians new and old excited about the new school year. Visitors will run\, jump\, hunt goblins\, laugh through games of chess\, hit a target or two\, experience the epic highs and lows of moving in Boston\, learn the time-honored art of constructing giant sandwiches\, and try not to explode in the process. We welcome all students\, families\, and passers-by to drop in or spend all day with us at the UnCommon Corner between 12 and 5PM. Play\, be loud\, have fun and meet some new friends! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBean Time!\n\n\n\nBean Time! Is a physical sorting game that challenges two teams\, or two individuals\, to complete as many sorted coffee recipes as they can in 60 seconds. Each recipe calls for a specific combination of coffee beans and other ingredients that can be found in a bag shared by players.  \n\n\n\nA recipe is completed when the number of ingredients called for is placed in a team’s coffee cup. Teams can choose to play competitively\, winning by individually having the most recipe cards completed\, or cooperatively by collectively having more recipe cards than previous rounds. Because Bean Time! takes only 60 seconds\, the game offers quick\, replayable fun. \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nMeg Thurmeier\, Carol Cheng\, Takara Bayley-Gale \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCafe Quest\n\n\n\nCafe Quest is a paper-based scavenger hunt that challenges young players to explore the environment for clues\, solve simple puzzles\, and gather information in order to solve the case of stolen coffee beans. Players take on the role of a detective as they travel throughout the Uncommon Corner and interact with various “witnesses” including staff members and original hand-drawn characters. \n\n\n\nTo begins players are provided a mission briefing\, pencils and an investigation log. From there\, they move through five locations to complete puzzles and solve the case. Gameplay takes about 15-20 minutes. \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nAndrew Chen\, Xuan Jiang\, Maggie Stewart \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCozy Grandpa Hipster Sweaters\n\n\n\nCozy Grandpa Hipster Sweaters is a fast-paced memory matching game where two players race to design a colorful sweater using recycled materials. Players take turns looking through a grid of 36 coffee coaster cards and attempt to find two matching coasters. If a player finds a match\, they run to a fabric recycling bin and find the fabric strip that matches their pattern. This strip is then added to their sweater. The first player to complete their sweater wins. \n\n\n\nCozy Grandpa Hipster Sweaters helps younger players build skills in memory retention\, and offers lessons in sustainability and upcycling. The game also provides players a photo opportunity with their finished sweaters. \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nMaggie Stewart\, Xiaoyang Wu\, Xinyu Morris \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDunk the Donuts\n\n\n\nDunk the Donuts is a competitive two player game where the goal is to knock donuts and other food items from their display stands. The game is set over a large coffee cup which food falls into when knocked down. Each food item has a point value and the player that obtains the most points wins. Bonus points can also be earned by landing a donut hole (the object players throw) into the golden cup. The competitive spirit of Dunk the Donuts and its focus on physical accuracy helps teach players physical coordination and respectful competition. \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nArmando Barbosa\, Takara Bayley-Gale\, and Qihao “Anthony” Hong \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho’s on Shift?\n\n\n\nWho’s on Shift? is a 4-6 player social deduction game. Each player takes on the role of a staff member at a newly opened restaurant. Players will be assigned as manager\, loyal employee\, or troublemaker. The manager and regular employees want to keep the restaurant running smoothly for 4 days. The troublemaker wants to cause problems so the restaurant closes. \n\n\n\nEach day players decide which player “goes on shift” and the player on shift is able to play cards in secret that affect gameplay. Who’s on Shift? is a social game that requires strong attention to detail\, deception and focused communication. \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nShuo Deng\, Qihao Hong\, Yutao Liu

SUMMARY:FableVision Presents: Day of Play!
DESCRIPTION:UnCommon Corner\, Boylston St &\, Tremont St\, Boston\, MA 02116 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Emerson Day of Play is a day of connection\, fun\, and in-person play at the UnCommon Corner and Harpoon Beer Garden\, located at the corner of Boylston and Tremont in the Boston Common. The event is inspired by the Come Out and Play Festivals in New York\, San Francisco and Philadelphia. \n\n\n\nEmerson students and local game designers have built six original\, in-person outdoor games to get Bostonians new and old excited about the new school year. Visitors will run\, jump\, hunt goblins\, laugh through games of chess\, hit a target or two\, experience the epic highs and lows of moving in Boston\, learn the time-honored art of constructing giant sandwiches\, and try not to explode in the process. We welcome all students\, families\, and passers-by to drop in or spend all day with us at the UnCommon Corner between 12 and 5PM. Play\, be loud\, have fun and meet some new friends! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmerson Troll Hunt\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSo you’re going to become a media student? Congratulations! You’d better get used to trolls early. Don’t worry\, we’ve got you covered. Start training to look for trolls hiding all around the Day of Play UnCommon Stage and Harpoon Beer Garden space. When you find one\, see what it has to say and assemble the message…but don’t think too hard about it\, they’re just trolls. After a while they even start to look sort of cute! \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nZoe Deyermond\, Peyton Schweibert\, Zeang Fang\, Chris Fortin \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIgnited Emersonians\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Little Building is a dorm at Emerson full of first-years who can’t make a midnight snack without setting off the fire alarm and thus forcing hordes of freshmen out onto the cold\, dark\, streets of Boston. Inspired by popular card game Exploding Kittens\, Ignited Emersonians teaches players about Emerson culture while they compete to be the last person standing. Just don’t draw the fire alarm card – you’ll freeze to death outside\, and worse\, lose the game! \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nDanni Yu\, Noel Li\, Stephanie Lu\, Livia Holt\, Endo Crist \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeli Demolition\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Sandwich had a dream – towering monuments of food reaching toward the heavens\, bringing delight to giants who roamed the countryside. He obsessed over the concept of “food architecture” and spent his life perfecting what he called “The Grand Ritual of Sandwich Elevation.” He believed that the universe is composed of four primordial ingredients: bread\, protein\, toppings\, and condiments. Assuming the role of sandwich architect\, Deli Demolition players physically stack giant ingredients\, fundamentally building the universe with each placement. \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nEthan Tuccillo\, Ben Fine\, Hannah Bambach\, Jacob Schmidt\, Ellie Abbey \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChess 2\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDo you spend hours of your life every day playing online chess against bots? Do you also spend hours wishing there was some new way you could experience your favorite game? Well\, now there is! Chess 2: The Strategic Comedy is just like regular chess\, but with two new pieces: the jester and the paladin. This adds a new layer of strategy to the game\, though the goal—capture the opponent’s King—remains the same. \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nAiley Adair\, Michael Chow\, Qian Luo\, Wanxuan Yan\, Zoe Golden \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMoving Day\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDid you know that ALL RENTAL LEASES in Boston begin on September 1st? If you don’t\,  you will someday when you join Boston Christmas:  the insane\, competitive\, speed-based packing puzzle that is Moving Day in Boston every September. By moving more boxes than you knew you had\, you’ll collaborate with your new roommates and also compete with your new roommates. You’ll laugh\, you’ll cry\, you’ll probably scream and hopefully\, eventually\, you’ll move into your new apartment. \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nKellian Adams Pletcher and the Teams From FableVision Studios. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAiming for Emerson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLet’s face it: summer’s over\, but that doesn’t mean that the fun has to end. The New England State Fair might be a two-hour drive away\, but Aiming for Emerson is bringing carnival vibes right to the UnCommon Corner. Whether you want to play solo or with friends\, you’ll surely be \n\n\n\nreminded of that time as a kid that you miserably failed to win the biggest\, coolest stuffed animal at the fair. What’s more fun than that? \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nAiley Adair\, Michael Chow\, Qian Luo\, Wanxuan Yan\, Zoe Golden \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMusical Guests\n\n\n\n\n12:00 – 6:00 PM: DJ Little Kilo \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDJ Little Kilo is UnCommon’s homegrown DJ!  One of UnCommon’s most senior entertainment technicians by day\, DJ Little Kilo knows exactly what to play at UnCommon for every moment of the day!  A fixture at both UnCommon and Boston’s music scene\, DJ Little Kilo is a Northeastern graduate and host of “The Little Kilo Show\,” where they document Boston’s underground scene and interview interesting community members.  DJ Kilo will be spinning beats all day with a few special guests!
