Board Game Playtesting - Online!

The Golden Gate Gamemakers would like you to join us ONLINE to playtest board games in development!

When: The last Monday of each month from 7-10 pm PT we host an evening of virtual board game playtesting.

Where: Join the GGG Discord Server and visit the "Hangout" and Room voice channels between 7-10 pm PT.

SCHEDULE
7:10 pm - I’ll present a reverse-engineering demo of a game in Playing Cards IO.
7:30 pm - Jason and I will lead a general conversation about how to get started building an online prototype and where it could be played.
8-10 pm - Unscheduled playtesting of online prototypes in one of the five available rooms in the GGG server.

If you are joining our Discord Server for the first time, you will need to go through the onboarding process and wait 5 minutes before being able to join the Voice Channels along the left bar.

You will need to select a role to join, if you haven't during the onboarding process, go to the top of the left bar, click Channels & Roles and choose a role such as Gamemaker.

Who: We welcome you whether you're a designer with a prototype, an interested playtester, or you'd just like to observe and check things out.

Prerequisites: No experience needed. Connect, play, and give feedback - let's make better games together and have fun doing it!

Web: To lower any barriers, we encourage the use of web-based digital prototypes built on Screentop or PlayingCards IO.

Format: Each session we will rotate through games and share constructive feedback to help designers refine their games. If we don't get to your game, you'll be prioritized next meetup.

RSVP: Appreciated but not required.

Organizers: Greg Pool (Haole Boy Games) and Jason Parmele (The Misplay).

Cost: Our Discord server is FREE to join and use. Digital playtesting platforms like Screentop and PlayingCards IO have basic plans that are free for playtesters and designers.
