CUDO Plays Presents Their Season 12 Grand Exhibition

CUDO Plays, your local board game design competition, is excited to announce its Season 12 Grand Exhibition, Saturday, March 28, 2025, from 1:00pm to 7:00pm, at Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center (IMC) (202 S Broadway Ave, Urbana, IL 61801)!

CUDO Plays brings local gamers, designers, and makers together to build new board game creations. The teams have submitted their original board games and the Grand Exhibition will give them an opportunity to show them off to the public and commemorate months of hard work. Each game will be playable by all attendees. At the end of the evening, teams will be awarded prizes for excellence in the following categories: Accessibility, Marketability, Replay Value, Visual Communication, Aesthetics, Enrichment, Innovation, and Theme.

This is a free, family-friendly event, and anyone with an interest in board gaming or design is invited to stop by and experience the wonderful local creations. There will be a diverse range of games to play with options for every age and skill level.

All attendees will also get free entry into the door prize raffle for a chance to win brand-new board games and accessories!

The Patty Daddy food truck will also be available starting 12:30pm, shortly before the event!
