Game Design Kit
These are the items included in the Game Design kit I have my students buy for my Introduction to Game Design class at the Cleveland Institute of Art. I charge them $10 per kit, it costs us more like $20 per kit (we underwrite out of the department budget). To be at all cost effective you should purchase enough to assemble 10 kits. Without shipping 10 kits would cost around $350. The following links are the exact items I purchase, they are affiliate links, so if you do end up purchasing anything, I thank you for your support. Everything is from Amazon except for the last item which is from the GameCrafter.
The logic behind each item in the kit can be found on this TikTok video:
