A few key points:
- This is in conjunction with their weekly boardgame night, so you'll have to register on their website here (Note: The Mar 3rd event is not yet posted to their events page--please keep checking!)
- Not free: Per their event description, you'll be expected to spend $15+ on food/drinks. Please expect to provide a credit card or ID (if using cash) upon entry to the event.
Convenient to Roxbury Crossing and Ruggles. Let's try this two or three times and see what happens!

Dirigible Brewing Co, 24 porter road, Littleton, MA, USDirigible Brewing Company
Address: 24 Porter Rd, Littleton, MA 01460Let's try a new venue that's generally west of Boston! Dirigible Brewing is a huge proponent of board games and has a very well attended monthly Sunday afternoon board game event. They are letting us use some space for testing, and have offered to advertise for public play testers if we're interested. We'll try to make sure everyone who attends gets their game to the table, so bring your prototypes to share or stop by to play and support local designers.
Dirigible is conveniently located at the intersection of Route 2 and 495, so it should be accessible to those of us who are wicked far west. Outside food is welcome, and they will sometimes have food trucks available, but outside drinks are not allowed.
