Indy Tabletop Game Creators

On this upcoming Saturday, November 11, the Hamilton East Public Library is hosting a Community Board Game and Playtesting Day at their Fishers branch, from 1pm to 5pm. Information below is taken from their website for the event:

Join us for a fun-filled afternoon and get your game on at the library to celebrate International Games Month! Bring your family or friends, choose a board/card game from our library, or bring your own. Enter your name into a prize drawing for some fabulous board games, card games, and gaming accessories! Members of Indy Tabletop Game Creators will have their designs ready to playtest. All ages welcome!

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.
