London Meetup Sunday 16th June

The June Meetup will be on Sunday 16th June from 1pm to 8pm at the Jugged Hare pub, Victoria.


Following on from the success of the Playtest @ UK Games Expo 2013, we will be returning to the usual meetup schedule. 

If you've designed a game, bring it along and give it a play or just enjoy playing other people's prototypes in a friendly and constructive atmosphere. Everyone is welcome.

If you would like to bring along a new design, contact Rob Harris (Organiser) and we will add your game to the list. 

We have pre-registration to make the sessions run more smoothly. Designers are encouraged to pre-register their games to be playtested before the meetup by leaving a message on the meetup page or contacting Rob Harris (Organiser).

You are still welcome to bring along other designs on the day, but time slots will first of all be allocated to pre-registered games.
