Third Saturday Playtesting – October

BRING OUT YER PROTOTYPES!

Who: Anyone who wants to help each other make great games.
When: Saturday, October 15th, 12pm to about 4pm ET.
Where: Doughnuts & Dragons at Clearwater Crossing, 3838 E 82nd Street, Indianapolis
How to spot us: We’ll be at the two six-person tables, 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 are welcome but not required.

2. NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK. Instead, please plan on purchasing a drink and/or snack (gourmet doughnuts!) from our gracious hosts who are letting us use their space.

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