di 12 dec 2023 20:00 CETNijmegen Tabletop Testing Night #24
StartUp Nijmegen, Nijmegen, GE
🇳🇱 Voordat een bordspel of kaartspel kan worden uitgegeven, moet er veel aan het spel getest worden om zeker te zijn dat het leuk is, duidelijk is en altijd goed werkt. Daarom komen we elke twee weken met spelauteurs uit de regio samen om prototypes van spellen te testen en ze zo beter te maken en misschien ooit wel gepubliceerd te krijgen.

Om 8 uur verzamelen we bij StartUp Nijmegen voor een speltestavond. Afhankelijk van het aantal aanwezigen en prototypes dat er wordt meegenomen (neem dus zeker ook zelf iets mee) vormen we een aantal groepen. Bij kleinere spellen kun je in de loop van de avond van groep wisselen, bij grotere spellen moet je dat even overleggen.

Ook als je zelf geen spellen maakt of een spel hebt dat je wilt testen, ben je natuurlijk van harte welkom. Het is voor ontwerpers heel fijn om de mening van zo veel mogelijk andere mensen te krijgen. En heel eerlijk: het testen van nieuwe spellen is ook gewoon heel leuk!

We gaan door tot een uur of 11, maar voel je vrij al eerder naar huis te gaan. Er is gratis koffie en thee bij StartUp Nijmegen. Voor fris, bier of wijn wordt een kleine bijdrage gevraagd. StartUp Nijmegen ligt tegenover het station. De auto kun je parkeren in de naastgelegen Keizer Karelparkeergarage (80 cent per uur). Er is hier ook een afgesloten fietsenstalling.

De testavonden in Nijmegen zijn elke tweede dinsdag en elke vierde donderdag van de maand. Zet die dus vast in je agenda! Spellenmaakgilde Nijmegen maakt onderdeel van het Nederlandse Spellenmaakgilde en is onderdeel van het SAZ. Je vindt ons daarnaast ook in het #Nijmegen kanaal op de Discord-server van het Spellenmaakgilde.

--------------------------------------------

🇬🇧 At 8 o'clock we will gather at StartUp Nijmegen for a game test evening. Depending on the number of attendees and prototypes that are brought along (be sure to bring your own) we will form a number of groups. For smaller games you can change groups during the evening, for bigger games you have to discuss this.

Even if you do not make games yourself or have a game you want to test, you are of course welcome. It is very nice for designers to get the opinion of as many other people as possible. And quite honestly: testing new games is also just a lot of fun!

We will continue until 11 or so, but feel free to go home earlier. There is free coffee and tea at StartUp Nijmegen. There is a small charge for soda, beer or wine. StartUp Nijmegen is located opposite the station. You can park your car in the adjacent Keizer Karel parking garage (80 cents per hour). There is also a locked bicycle shed here.

The test nights in Nijmegen are every second Tuesday and every fourth Thursday of the month. So mark them down in your calendar!

Spellenmaakgilde Nijmegen is part of the Dutch Spellenmaakgilde and is part of the SAZ. You can also find us in the #Nijmegen channel on the Discord server of the Spellenmaakgilde.

vr 15 dec 2023 19:00 CETLeeuwarden Tabletop Testing Night
Blokhuispoort, Leeuwarden, FR
Looking for people to test your game, or interested in playing people's creations? Come over to play boardgame prototypes! Your hosts for this evening are Friso Roolvink & Mitchel Bonnema.

We start at 19.00 hours, play until around 23.00 hours. We start with a pitching round by the game designers about the games that can be played. We aim to have all games playtested, while players can choose what to play. Usually we rotate after a play round (or more, or not depending on the playtime, small games vs an epic night long game).

To make sure not only our minds, but also our bodies are nourished, you are welcome to bring some drinks, booze, food or snacks.

To check for actual updates and to sign up as a designer please go to our Guild website and find the event post of that month. We also share more events and news there: spellenmaakgilde.net
