Introduction

I have been designing board games for a couple years now.

We plan to have play test events on a variety of days and times so that we can tap into as many people as possible. Keeping in mind that an average play test session lasts 3 to 4 hours, what days and times are best for you?

Sundays are better than Saturdays. Weeknights are a possibility. I have to balance my schedule out with my other obligations so it will have to be on a session by session basis.

Clever Mojo Games designs games in a variety of different styles...dungeon crawls, party games, euro games, card games, etc. What types of games are you most interested in play testing?

I like the sophisticated elegance of the Euro game but with conflicting and conniving interaction. I find multi-player solitaire boring. I like party games that get people to try to figure other people out. I don't like fantasy as much as Sci-fi.

If you're up to it, list the top five games that you like to play.

Dixit, Tigris and Euphrates, El Grande, Innovation, and Carcassonne (w/ Inns and Cathedrals and Traders and Builders expansions).

What Seth is saying about this Meetup Group

It is a very necessary and often challenging process. I have come to believe that a game will go nowhere until it is properly play-tested for at least 6 months. It is a supportive environment. David gives everyone a chance to share their ideas and games with him and the group. I have learned the most about gaming here from start and hopefully to the finish of creating one.
