Educational games which do not successfully combine game design with learning design are ineffective in terms of engagement, learning, or both (often known as a 'spinach sundae': a product which is neither appealing nor good for you ). 1 Introduction It is now well evidenced that games can be engaging and effective tools for education but that the design of an intervention has as large an effect on success as the medium and that designing effective game-based learning solutions requires significant expertise in both game-design and pedagogy. Systematic application of the workflow to a real example supports the value of this approach and provides a useful template for educators to follow for increasing the quality and feasibility of self-designed serious games. A detailed worked example applies the workflow to the development of a serious tabletop game with the educational goal of increasing knowledge and confidence of performing postgraduate literature reviews. The work-flow combines existing research for serious games design with novel systematic analysis techniques for learning and game mechanics and gameplay loops to improve the understanding and rigour of the process. This paper describes a learning-objective-centric workflow for modifying ('modding') existing tabletop games for educational purposes.
