Whether you're a Meetup member or no, feel free to join! No RSVP required. Calling all local game designers and cardboard enthusiasts! New designers and interested players of any skill level welcome. Bring your rough prototypes, rules drafts, hand drawn boards and cards to get them out in front of fellow gamers. Or just bring yourself and a willingness to give some experiments a try! This is a relaxed space to get concepts out of our heads onto the table and get feedback on what seems to work, what doesn't, and bounce ideas around. Don't expect polished, publisher complete games. This event is a monthly deadline and opportunity to force myself and anyone interested to get that next iteration tweaked or rules draft done. We meet every second Saturday of the month!
