Last night at midnight, we reached the end of Gaming Like It's 1926, our fourth annual public domain game jam celebrating the new works that entered the public domain this year. At final count, we got 31 entries representing a huge variety of different kinds of digital and analog games!

For the next couple of weeks, we'll be digging into all the games and selecting the winners in our six categories — but there's no need to wait before playing! You can check out all the entries on itch.io:

At first glance (and having poked around in a couple of the early entries) I can already tell it's going to be tough to narrow these down to just six winners — there are lots of games here that do fun and interesting things with public domain works. As in past years, once we've selected and announced the winners we'll discuss each one in detail in a podcast and a series of posts.

Until then, a huge thanks to everyone who participated this year, and also to everyone who takes some time to play the games and give these designers the attention they deserve!

EAST ST. LOUIS - Due to the winter storms forecasted for the remainder of the week, School District 189 buildings will be closed and shift to e-learning days Wednesday through Friday (February 2-4, 2022). E-learning days provide virtual instruction to students so make-up days will not be required unless a district-wide power outage prevents e-learning instruction. In practice, e-learning days are similar to remote instruction days. Students will need their district-issued Chromebooks or tablets and should log on for school from 9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. daily. Teachers will take attendance on e-learning days. Students are expected to participate throughout the entire class period and school day. Attendance will be based on a student’s consistent engagement and participation. You are encouraged to review the complete E-Learning Plan for School District 189, posted on our website. After-school and evening activities for Tuesday, February 1, 2022, will continue as scheduled.
