dc.description.abstractTo address the challenges in visualization education-particularly in motivating and engaging students-we propose the conceptual adaptation of popular board games into educational data visualization games. We present five unique adaptations of well-known board games, integrating their mechanics and materials into a data visualization learning process. For each game, we outline specific learning objectives and suggest strategies to extend the game-based approach to broader data visualization education. By combining familiar, engaging game mechanics with visualization content, we aim to foster critical engagement with the learning material while providing students with a foundational understanding of data visualization concepts. Early qualitative results from one of the games indicate a positive impact on players' learning, boosting engagement and enjoyment.en_US
