Playtest UK Games Meetup Group

We are a welcoming community of board game designers and playtesters, please join us and bring your games in development for feedback, to play upcoming games, or just to chat about the hobby and industry! We range from first-time designers, hobby designers, published designers, and publishing companies.

We meet every Tuesday at The Ludoquist board game cafe in Croydon, from 6:30pm-10pm. We try to ensure that as many games can be played in an evening, and prioritise those that haven't been able to test their games recently, although we cannot guarantee that your game will be played in the first session you join.

The final meeting of each month is reserved for playing published games. We use this time to catch up on games that we want to try or discuss.

You can also join our Facebook Group community for feedback and discussion: https://www.facebook.com/groups/playtestuksouthlondon

We look forward to seeing you!

We playtest games of all kinds. Bring a prototype and we will be able to test it. Or come by just to meet people interested on game design and test new ideas :D

The group currently meets roughly every two weeks, based on people's availability. If you're coming for the first time, please RSVP beforehand, and leave your inbox open in case no-one else can make it that day (the organisers get added to every meetup so if only they are listed as attending there's a chance there won't be anyone there that week.)

• When: Last Wednesday of each month
• Where: The Merry Bells, 89 High Street, Wheatley, OX33 1XP

This is an inclusive and welcoming Meetup! Bring a prototype or just come along to play others and give feedback to the designers. This event is for anyone passionate about games—whether they're a designer, developer, playtester, or simply someone who loves engaging with creative ideas. No prior experience is necessary.

Location: Please note, whilst Playtest Oxford used to be held in The Up in Arms, we are moving to the coffee room at The Merry Bells, Wheatley. The Up in Arms was a friendly and welcoming space but unfortunately the noise level of a thriving local pub was such that we are trying somewhere quieter. The Coffee Room at The Merry Bells is a private booking and there is a small kitchen within where we will provide tea and coffee and a few snacks - please bring anything you'd like to munch on whilst gaming!
