Author's note

KG Build a Game, a free game-themed dingbat font by Kimberly Geswein, collects board outlines, maze-like paths, grids, and playing-piece shapes. Its drawings range from dense patterned frames to spare geometric diagrams. Checkerboard edges and hand-drawn contours give the set a lively craft-table character.

Printed games are their clearest home, especially classroom activity sheets and homemade board games. They also supply motifs for children's invitations and puzzle books. The set is strongest when symbols become actual game components.
