We need four volunteers to demo their prototypes / games at the Hoosier Game Expo on November 13th. As a volunteer you will be able to promote your game and to visit the museum during the event (when you aren’t on shift). You will receive a $5 parking voucher for the day, and a promotional ticket for a return visit to the museum at a time of your choosing.
Please let us know by Friday, November 5th which shift(s) you would be available:
(Or just show up to playtest!)
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!
