The document announces a games of simplicity event hosted by We Are Müesli on November 25-26, 2016 in Milan. We Are Müesli is an Italian game design and visual design studio founded by Claudia Molinari and Matteo Pozzi. The event will explore simplicity in game design based on John Maeda's six laws of simplicity from his 2006 book, which are reduce, organize, focus, efficiency, empathize and trust. A number of simple, minimalist games will be presented as examples that demonstrate Maeda's laws.
