(2019)<\/strong>, through the influence of OuLiPo, game jams and serious games, a whole line of designers has paved the way for this form of playful freedom. These creations show that a game can be a space of experimentation, where new mechanics emerge and the dormant game designer inside each of us awakens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These particular games question our relationship with rules: how far can we play with them without losing the spirit of the game? They open up an experimental space that blurs the boundaries between player and creator, turning each game into a collective work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"634\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.brusselsgamesfestival.be\/wpbgf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ludo-Vortex-1024x634.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.brusselsgamesfestival.be\/wpbgf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ludo-Vortex-1024x634.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dev.brusselsgamesfestival.be\/wpbgf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ludo-Vortex-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev.brusselsgamesfestival.be\/wpbgf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ludo-Vortex-768x476.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dev.brusselsgamesfestival.be\/wpbgf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ludo-Vortex-535x331.jpg 535w, https:\/\/dev.brusselsgamesfestival.be\/wpbgf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ludo-Vortex-1536x951.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dev.brusselsgamesfestival.be\/wpbgf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ludo-Vortex-2048x1269.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">The re-creative games presented in the exhibition will also be available at the <strong>BGth\u00e8que<\/strong>, where everyone can test them and experience them firsthand.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition retraces this little-known history and highlights contemporary tools such as <strong>Ludovortex<\/strong>, designed to stimulate game design, adaptation and analysis.<br>\ud83d\udc49 <strong>To be discovered at the Brussels Games Festival, throughout the entire event!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Game design et r\u00e8gles \u00e9volutives : 70 ans de jeux de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Re-cr\u00e9atifs (Conf\u00e9rence FIJ 2025)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K3QwYwcjo-Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Changing the recipe\u2026 but is it still the same dish?
