September 2026 - Playtest games at Geeky Teas! PLUS board game 'free store'

**Players and game designers wanted for this open house style event!** **FEE:** $8 to play at Geeky Teas - payable at the event to Geeky Teas at front desk. Once paid, you're covered to play games ALL DAY. **SPECIAL TO THIS EVENT!** **During Open Play from 11am-1pm, we will be hosting a board game 'exchange'.** How this will work: * Bring up to 5 of your own games (new or used) you don't want or need anymore * All games go into a collective "free store" pile * Anyone in the group may take 1-5 games from the "free store." * If your game/s haven't been taken, bring them home, or donate them to the Geeky Teas library. Please note this is NOT a math trade. No one will be reinforcing fair trades for equally valuable games, so don't bring your $200 copy of Battlestar Galactica unless you are really ok with giving it away! **DESIGNER SIGN UP**: If you have a game to test during session one or two, please follow this protocol: **Fill out the form here- [First Play Designer Signup](https://gorgeous-mule-37d.notion.site/1c9a3d4ed35b8034b34ced27ef3d1c40)** Please read the descriptions of each time to determine if your game is appropriate for a scheduled session. *Note: new members must come to First Play as a playtester at least once before having the opportunity to run a game. If this is your first time showing your game at FPLA, please introduce yourself to either Damon or Cassandra (one or both will be near the front of the room) before your session for a quick explainer on how to get your game to the table and what to expect from playtesting.* **SCHEDULE:** Game days have 3 segments. **You do not need to come for the whole day!** However, it is good etiquette if you are testing your own game to stay and test at least one other designer's game as well. 11:00am - 1:00 pm **OPEN PLAY TESTING** This is unstructured play time, ideal for short games (45min or less), 2 player games, and games that require a quieter environment. If you're a designer, grab an available table and let people know you are looking for players. If you're a player, just sit down at a game and play! **SESSION ONE** 1:15pm - 3:15pm **SESSION TWO** 3:30pm - 5:30pm Scheduled sessions are the core of First Play! This event we have three scheduled sessions, with about 4-6 games running during each time slot. Following moderator announcements, each designer running a game will have the opportunity to do an 'elevator pitch' to players. After which, players decide which game they want to play. Two hour sessions are ideal for games that are 60-90 minutes, and have been playtested multiple times before. After play, be sure to leave time to give and receive feedback. Oh, and sometimes we give away prizes! 5:30-6:30pm **DINNER BREAK** 6:30-10pm **THE SKUNKWORKS** This is unstructured time to test your wildest ideas. Bring the game that may break in 5 minutes, the one that requires 10 people, or the one that may involve crawling on the ground. Bring objects that *could* be games, half baked ideas, and untested print and plays. Take risks, be silly, and most importantly, have fun! **SPECIAL NOTES**: No outside food is permitted but there are snacks/drinks sold at Geeky Teas. Also, FYI - There are cats at the store, roaming but keep to themselves. Please read these guides, especially if you are new to design or playtesting- **[How to do better playtesting!](https://gorgeous-mule-37d.notion.site/How-to-do-better-playtesting-1c9a3d4ed35b807b9f6ff643b5635885)** **[How to explain rules for your confusing game prototype!](https://gorgeous-mule-37d.notion.site/How-to-explain-rules-for-your-confusing-game-prototype-1d3a3d4ed35b80c683e7e4f6953e8545)** **Code of Conduct Rules** 1. Be kind. 2. Seriously, be even more kind than you think you need to be. 3. Read the guidelines for giving and receiving feedback. 4. Respect the rules of our venues (Geeky Teas, Paper Heroes, Odyssey, etc). We will continue to be welcome as long as we continue to be good guests. 5. New members must come to First Play as a playtester at least once before having the opportunity to run a game. 6. If you have RSVP'd to run a game, show up for your time slot. If you do not show up for your time slot, you will get a strike against you. Three strikes and moderators will discuss next steps with you about if you will be allowed to continue running games. 7. Be respectful of other community members- give as much as you receive. Playtest other peoples' games, not just your own. 8. In the case of an unresolvable or continuing conflict, please let a moderator know so we can determine next steps. 9. You will receive a warning if a legitimate complaint is lodged against you. In the case of a continuous issue, a group of at least 3 moderators will discuss and determine next steps. Consistent bad behavior will lead to a group ban. **See you soon!** **Have questions?** For FAQ's, please see here - [First Play FAQ’s](https://gorgeous-mule-37d.notion.site/First-Play-FAQ-s-1d5a3d4ed35b809eadb7c5c72359521b) For a specific question please email *cassandra@ixiongameworks.com* For community conversations join the Cardboard Alchemy Discord: [https://discord.gg/2pYk3TT](https://discord.gg/2pYk3TT) \- find the \#first\-play\-la\-chat channel\!

Open Gaming at The Game Hub

🎲 Strategy Games Only: Board Game Social at Moncha Cafe

**🎲 Strategy Games Only: Board Game Social at Moncha Cafe** **📅 Date:** Sunday, October 11, 2026 **⏰ Time:** 2:00 PM–5:30 PM **📍 Location:** Moncha Cafe – Rosemead **🏠 Address:** 8547 Valley Blvd, Suite B, Rosemead, CA 91770 **💵 Event Cover Fee:** FREE **♟️ Game Format:** Strategy & Euro-Style Board Games **⏳ Game Length:** Games should have an expected playtime of less than 2½ hours **🌱 Skill Level:** All experience levels welcome 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 **🚫 SOCIAL DEDUCTION GAMES BANNED AT THIS EVENT 🚫** 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 Come join us for a special **Strategy Games Only Board Game Social** at Moncha Cafe in Rosemead! For this event only, many of the game restrictions used at some of our previous board game events are being lifted. So dust off **Catan**, get your **Wingspan** engine running, start negotiating resources with people who will absolutely remember your betrayal three turns later, and prepare for a Sunday afternoon of strategic decision-making. Expect careful planning, questionable alliances, resource shortages, dramatic sighs, strategic silence, loud celebrations, conflicting strategies, and at least one person staring at the board as though the meaning of life is hidden underneath a wooden cube. This event is for games that need a little more room to breathe. *** ================= *** **♟️ What Games Are Welcome?** This event is focused on **strategy games, Euro games, economic games, engine-building games, area-control games, civilization games, resource-management games, route-building games, and other strategy-oriented tabletop games.** Games that fit the spirit of the event include: * 🏝️ **Catan** * 🐦 **Wingspan** * 🚂 **Ticket to Ride** * 🌎 **Terraforming Mars** * 🏛️ **7 Wonders** * 🌳 **Everdell** * 🏭 **Power Grid** * 🗺️ **Concordia** * 🏰 **The Castles of Burgundy** * 🌾 **Agricola** * 🐑 **Caverna** * 🧱 **Azul** * 💎 **Splendor** * 🌍 **Small World** * 🧭 **Carcassonne** * 🦊 **Root**, provided the table reasonably expects to finish within the time limit * 🎲 Other strategy games that can reasonably be completed within the event's playtime requirements Bring something you have been wanting to get to the table. Just make sure the group can realistically finish it. And yes, **Catan negotiations are allowed**. Whether anyone believes your promise that you “definitely won't build there” is between you and your conscience. *** ================= *** **⏳ The 2½-Hour Rule** Games should have a **reasonable expected playtime of less than 2½ hours for a complete game**. This does not mean somebody will appear with a stopwatch at exactly two hours and twenty-nine minutes. The goal is simply to avoid starting games that are ordinarily expected to consume most or all of the afternoon. Games that routinely take **2½ hours or longer** should be saved for another event. Examples of games that generally would not be appropriate for this session because of their expected length include: * 🌌 **Twilight Imperium** * 🌍 **Diplomacy** * ⚔️ **Axis & Allies** * 💍 **War of the Ring** * 🚀 **Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy** when a full session is expected to exceed the limit * ⚔️ **Game of Thrones: The Board Game** when a full session is expected to exceed the limit * 🏛️ Heavy campaign, civilization, war, or legacy games expected to run beyond 2½ hours 🟢 If your game normally requires a dinner break, a change of clothes, and a discussion about where everybody is sleeping afterward, it is probably too long for this meetup. 😄 *** ================= *** **🚫 Social Deduction Games Are Not Allowed** Social deduction is the **one game category specifically prohibited at this event**. This meetup is focused on strategy-oriented tabletop gaming rather than games primarily centered around hidden identities, deception, accusation, elimination, or figuring out which person at the table is secretly working against everyone else. Examples of social deduction games that are **not permitted** include, but are not limited to: * 🚫 **Blood on the Clocktower** * 🚫 **Werewolf** * 🚫 **Ultimate Werewolf** * 🚫 **One Night Ultimate Werewolf** * 🚫 **Mafia** * 🚫 **The Resistance** * 🚫 **The Resistance: Avalon** * 🚫 **Secret Hitler** * 🚫 **Deception: Murder in Hong Kong** * 🚫 **Spyfall** * 🚫 **The Chameleon** * 🚫 **Feed the Kraken** * 🚫 **Two Rooms and a Boom** * 🚫 **One Night Revolution** * 🚫 **Insider** * 🚫 **Crossfire** * 🚫 **Salem 1692** * 🚫 **Good Cop Bad Cop** * 🚫 Other games whose primary mechanism is hidden-role or social-deduction gameplay This list is illustrative rather than exhaustive. If the central question of the game is basically **“Which one of you is lying to me?”**, please save it for another meetup. We already expect enough drama from somebody refusing to trade a single piece of wheat in Catan. *** ================= *** **🔓 Previous Game Restrictions Are Relaxed** For this strategy-focused event only, previous restrictions that may have applied to other board game events are lifted except for the following limitations: **1\. Social deduction games are not permitted\.** **2\. Games expected to take 2½ hours or longer are not appropriate for this session\.** Otherwise, bring out the strategy games. Engine builders? **Yes.** Economic games? **Yes.** Area control? **Yes.** Resource management? **Absolutely.** Games involving fourteen different types of wooden cubes and a rulebook that initially makes everyone question their educational background? **We'll consider that part of the experience.** *** ================= *** **📌 Important Notes** * 🕑 Event begins at **2:00 PM**. * 🕠 Event concludes at **5:30 PM**. * 💵 **Event Cover Fee: FREE.** * ♟️ This meetup is specifically focused on strategy games. * ⏳ Games should have an expected playtime of **less than 2½ hours**. * 🚫 Social deduction games are not permitted. * 🎲 Previous game-category restrictions are otherwise relaxed for this event only. * 📖 If you bring a game, please be prepared to explain or teach it. * 🪑 Game selection will depend on attendance, player count, interest, and available tables. * ☕ Please respect Moncha Cafe, its employees, customers, property, and house rules. * 😄 Winning is optional. Explaining afterward why you *would* have won with one more turn is apparently mandatory. *** ================= *** **🤝 Community Code of Conduct & Good Sportsmanship** Everyone is expected to be **cordial, respectful, patient, and welcoming** toward other attendees, venue employees, customers, and the host. Competitive strategy is encouraged. Competitive hostility is not. Please be patient when someone is learning a game. Allow newer players reasonable time to understand the rules, ask questions, and make decisions. Do not ridicule or belittle another attendee for making a mistake, misunderstanding a rule, or choosing a different strategy. Every experienced board gamer was once the person who confidently made a terrible move and discovered why approximately thirty seconds later. Disagreements about rules should be handled calmly and respectfully. Check the rulebook, discuss the interpretation, resolve it, and move on. **Aggressive, hostile, threatening, harassing, bullying, intimidating, discriminatory, or deliberately disruptive behavior is prohibited.** Please respect personal boundaries. If another attendee asks you to stop a behavior, give them space, or leave them alone, respect that request. Treat the host, attendees, Moncha Cafe employees, and other customers courteously. Serious or repeated misconduct may result in an attendee being asked to leave and may result in removal or banning from future community events. Strategy, negotiation, temporary alliances, ruthless resource management, and dramatic disappointment are all perfectly acceptable **inside the game**. Please leave the actual interpersonal warfare on the cardboard. *** ================= *** **📸 Photos, Videos & Media Notice** **Photos and videos may be taken during this event.** By attending and participating in the event, you acknowledge that you may appear in photographs, video recordings, group photographs, background footage, or other event-related media. To the extent permitted by law, attendees authorize the event organizer and Andy's Board Game Community to photograph, film, record, reproduce, edit, publish, display, distribute, and otherwise use photographs, video, audio, or other recordings containing their image, likeness, appearance, or voice for **lawful community, archival, informational, promotional, advertising, social-media, website, Meetup, and event-related purposes**. This permission includes use in current and future event announcements, recaps, promotional materials, community pages, social-media posts, websites, and similar media, whether published electronically or in print. **No compensation, royalty, payment, residual, or other fee will be owed to an attendee for an authorized use of event photographs or recordings.** Photographs or recordings may be edited, cropped, resized, captioned, combined with other lawful content, or otherwise adapted for these purposes. If you have a particular privacy concern regarding photography or recording, please speak with the organizer **before participating or before photographs are taken** so that reasonable accommodations can be discussed where practicable. Please understand that this is a social event in a public-facing commercial venue, and the organizer cannot guarantee that other customers or attendees will not independently take photographs or recordings. *** ================= *** **⚠️ Participation Disclaimer & Release of Liability** Participation in this event is **voluntary**. By choosing to attend, each participant accepts the ordinary risks associated with attending a social gathering in a public venue, including travel to and from the event, movement around the venue, interaction with other attendees and members of the public, food or beverage consumption, handling board games and equipment, and other ordinary risks associated with participation. Each attendee is responsible for exercising reasonable care for their own health, safety, belongings, transportation, food and beverage choices, and personal conduct. Attendees are responsible for determining whether participation is appropriate for them and for communicating directly with the venue regarding any dietary, allergy, accessibility, or venue-specific concerns. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by voluntarily participating in the event, attendees agree to **release and hold harmless the event organizer, Andy's Board Game Community, volunteers, and participating community members from claims arising from the ordinary and inherent risks of voluntary participation in the event**, except to the extent such claims cannot lawfully be waived. Nothing in this disclaimer is intended to waive, release, or limit any right or liability that **cannot legally be waived or limited**. The organizer does not guarantee the conduct of individual attendees, the security of personal property, the availability of any particular game or table, or uninterrupted access to the venue. Please keep your personal belongings with you. Participation and attendance are at each attendee's own discretion. By remaining at and participating in the event after reviewing these event terms, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the event rules, conduct expectations, media notice, and participation disclaimer. *** ================= *** **🎲 The Strategy Session** Bring your Catan settlements, your Wingspan birds, your economic empires, your carefully optimized engines, and whatever elaborate strategy you have been quietly developing since the last board game meetup. Expect **silent concentration, loud celebrations, conflicting strategies, dramatic resource negotiations, temporary alliances, suspiciously long turns, and the occasional realization that somebody has been building toward victory for forty-five minutes and nobody noticed.** Come play. Come strategize. Come socialize. **Just remember: no social deduction, no six-hour civilization simulations, and no blaming the host when somebody blocks your longest road. 🎲♟️😄**
