The board game about Video Game Preservation.
Saving Games is bringing awareness to Video Game Preservation in a way that hasn’t been done before: through a board game.
Arguably the most important part of Video Game Preservation is the preservation of physical media. Digital media preservation is very useful but still has the potential to be faulty and fail, leaving nothing behind. A board game is a physical product, something that (if preserved) has the potential to last forever.
Board games hold up a physical space in your home; will you play Saving Games everyday? Of course not, but the game will still be in your home. The flow of information on the internet is extremely fast, headlines and articles come and go minute by minute. Having a physical game; a physical reminder of Video Game Preservation present in your home serves the subject matter greatly.
