SUMMARY:Birmingham Playtest meetup
LOCATION:Griffins Gaming
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 18% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nIf you're attending\, please fill in this form so I can a
 llocate you to a table...\nhttps://forms.gle/sHG7vHKnvjCUjH6v5\n\nTurn up 
 any time from 1730. Playtesting starts at 6pm\nWelcome to the Birmingham P
 laytest UK meetup\, hosted at Griffins Gaming in Birmingham city centre (o
 r near enough!).\nThis event is for those board game designers to show off
  their latest game designs\, and gather feedback from other game designers
  and playtesters.\n----Who is this event for?----\nWe welcome anyone to th
 is event:\nIf you're a game designer\, bring your game designs (see limita
 tions below)\nIf you're a board games enthusiast\, become a playtester! We
  really need your help to make our games even better!\n----What will happe
 n at the event?----\nBoard game designers will bring along games at variou
 s stages of development\, most will be home-made\, sometimes even handwrit
 ten on cards and scraps of paper but some games will be a little more poli
 shed.\nUpon arrival\, you'll be seated at a playtest table with 2 others. 
 Each person at the table will get 1 hour to playtest their game\, and they
  will also be expected to playtest the games of the other attendees at the
 ir table.\nUsually\, the designer will explain the game rather than ask yo
 u to read the rules but this depends on what stage the game is at.\nYou'll
  either play the full game or a few rounds depending on what feedback the 
 designer needs and the length of the game.\nYou'll then be asked what you 
 thought of the game in a short debrief session.\n----Game Limitations----\
 nAS A GAME DESIGNER YOU MUST ATTEND THE ENTIRE EVENT (6PM - 9PM) IF YOU WA
 NT YOUR GAME TO BE PLAYTESTED\nAs we have only 3 hours to playtest\, we sp
 lit game designers into tables of 3 designers per table\, and each designe
 r gets 1 hour to playtest their game and gather feedback. If we have playt
 esters attending who just want to playtest and didn't bring along a game o
 f their own\, we may be able to accommodate games with a higher player cou
 nt or a longer game time\, but this cannot be guaranteed as it is entirely
  dependant on playtesters attending without their own game designs.\n----W
 hen is this event?----\nThis meetup happens on the second and final Thursd
 ay of every month\n----Where is this happening?----\nGriffins Gaming\nRea 
 Court\,\n40 Trent St\,\nBirmingham\nB5 5NL\n----Is there an entry fee?----
 \nThe event is FREE for designers and playtesters.\n----Anything else I ne
 ed to know?----\nGriffins Gaming is less than 10 minutes walk from New Str
 eet Station\, and has street parking around the area which is free after 6
 pm (but always check this yourself!)\nGriffins Gaming sells drinks but not
  food. You are welcome to bring your own food.\n----Who organises this eve
 nt?----\nFeel free to reach out with any questions on Facebook\nThe event 
 is co-hosted by Will 'The Board Game Wizard' Brasher and Chris Backe of En
 tro Games. Normally at least one of us will be there to welcome you\, if n
