About us
We are a friendly group of board/card game designers and playtesters set up in London in 2009. We meet to play games and each other's design prototypes.
Everyone is welcome to join us and bring along their own designs or settle down to play and give their opinion. Ever designed a game and wanted to see how it plays? Enjoy playing games and being creative? Do you know what makes a game fun? Don't leave your game ideas sitting on the shelf gathering dust; show them off at the next Playtest meetup and get feedback direct from the players. We look forward to welcoming you at the next meetup!
We have regular playtesting meetups across the country in London, Cambridge, Newcastle, Brighton, Cardiff, Leeds, Enfield, Bath, Norwich, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Birmingham, Bristol, Cornwall, Oxford, Dundee, Oxford, Southampton and SE London.
We host public playtesting at UK Games Expo, Dragonmeet, Essen, London Toy Fair and a few other events during the year. We also run game jams and designer/publisher speed dating events throughout the year.
Please see our listings for details of dates and times. There is a monthly group newsletter.

Cambridge Playtest Meetup
The Petersfield, 2 Sturton Street, Cambridge, GBOur Meetups are twice monthly: on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of every month at The Petersfield on Sturton Street in Cambridge.
This page lists the Meetups on the 3rd Tuesdays. Click here to switch to the Meetups on the 1st Tuesdays of the month!
If you've never been to a Playtest Meetup in the past, have no fear. The Playtest UK community is here to bring together designers of all levels of expertise and experience who are keen to share their passion for games and game design.
To get involved, just bring along a game for playtesting (and it truly doesn't matter how rough-and-ready it is!), and — even more importantly — be ready to give your time to help playtest other people's and share your feedback.
You don't need to do anything other than RSVP. There's no need to book a slot or tell the group what you're bringing. But, do be aware that if you have a longer/bigger game (significantly more than an hour, say) then you shouldn't expect to play all the way through — and probably don't need to! Getting a game to the table, playing a few rounds and listening to feedback will often enough to give you what you need to take the next steps.
