Playtesting starts at 6pm Welcome to the Birmingham Playtest UK meetup, hosted at Griffins Gaming in Birmingham city centre (or near enough!). This event is for those board game designers to show off their latest game designs, and gather feedback from other game designers and playtesters. **\-\-\-\-Who is this event for?\-\-\-\-** We welcome anyone to this event: * If you're a game designer, bring your game designs (see limitations below) * If you're a board games enthusiast, become a playtester! We really need your help to make our games even better! **\-\-\-\-What will happen at the event?\-\-\-\-** Board game designers will bring along games at various stages of development, most will be home-made, sometimes even handwritten on cards and scraps of paper but some games will be a little more polished. Upon arrival, you'll be seated at a playtest table with 2 others. Each person at the table will get 1 hour to playtest their game, and they will also be expected to playtest the games of the other attendees at their table. Usually, the designer will explain the game rather than ask you to read the rules but this depends on what stage the game is at. You'll either play the full game or a few rounds depending on what feedback the designer needs and the length of the game. You'll then be asked what you thought of the game in a short debrief session. **\-\-\-\-Game Limitations\-\-\-\-** **YOU MUST ATTEND THE ENTIRE EVENT (6PM - 9PM) IF YOU WANT YOUR GAME TO BE PLAYTESTED** As we have only 3 hours to playtest, we split game designers into tables of 3 designers per table, and each designer gets 1 hour to playtest
