The limited availability of comprehensive design methods means that undergraduate students often rely on design thinking to design all types of media. However, each medium has different objectives and functions, requiring distinct approaches. This paper proposes a design method, specifically for designing board games, to assist both academics and practitioners as a systematic approach to educational needs. Th</em><em>is paper utilize </em><em>qualitative descriptive</em><em> method</em><em>, involving a comparison of the creative processes from three distinct board game design cases: multi-year research, game jams, and the thesis supervision process. The result of this discussion is the TEA CUP method, with an emphasis on the process of designing educational board games, </em><em>by </em><em>determining the educational values to be incorporated, relevant activities, and </em><em>transform</em><em> those activities within the game’s mechanical and thematic context. </em><em>T</em><em>his method</em><em>,</em> <em>expected</em><em> can serve as a reference for both academics and practitioners.</em></p> Erik Arma Yuda Reven Praga Deva Copyright (c) 2026 Erik Arma Yuda, Reven https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-06-01 2026-06-01 8 1 1 16 10.33005/gestalt.v8i1.591
