Who: Anyone who wants to help each other make great games.
When: Saturday, November 20th, 12pm to about 4pm ET.
Where: Game Preserve North at Fashion Mall Commons, 8487 Union Chapel Rd Suite #660
How to spot us: We’ll be the ones pushing around sleeved bits of paper, pencil-scrawled index cards, and random bits from other games.

Indy TableTop Game Creators (https://indyttgc.org/) focuses on board and card games, but we’re interested in all kinds of games. Beginners are welcome! Early hand-scribbled prototypes are encouraged!

1. Masks covering the nose and mouth are REQUIRED for persons who are not vaccinated against COVID-19. Marion County health officials recommend masks for ALL attendees of events in indoor public spaces.

2. Please bring CASH to purchase drinks and snacks, to save our host on credit card fees.
