Next Saturday, November 11, game designers Jake Richardson and Brian Hoffman of 9 to 6 Games are running an Extra Life 24-hour game day at Boss Battle Games to benefit Riley Children’s Hospital. The event will include playtesting of prototype tabletop games. See their description below for more details, taken from their Facebook event.
We will be running our 24 hour charity marathon benefitting Riley Children’s Hospital. There will be a $15 cover to get in, and a portion of all proceeds will be going to Riley!!! We will have tables in the back for board games, spots to bring a PC, set up a table for Warhammer, or even playtest some games you are designing! The arcade is open to everyone as well, and all machines are open play and require no currency to play them (EVEN PINBALL!!)
We will have a ton of giveaways for the event as well. Come win some cool prizes, play games with friends and help raise money for Riley!
If you are unable to attend the event but still want to make a donation to our page/Riley Hospital, please see the link below.

Hope to see you all there!
