Name: London Playtest weekend meetup
Start: 2014-01-19T13:00:00Z
End: 2014-01-19T16:00:00Z
Location: Jugged Hare Pub (meet UPSTAIRS table)

The January Meetup will be on Sunday 19th January from 1pm to 8pm.

If you've designed a game, bring it along and give it a play or just enjoy playing other people's prototypes in a friendly and constructive atmosphere.

If you would like to bring along a new design, contact Rob Harris (Organiser) and we will add your game to the list.

Deadline for pre-registering games is 11:59pm on Friday 17th January. Be sure to include the name of the game, the amount of players, the expected duration and a brief description. If you bring more than one design, add a preference for which one you would like to show first. Please feel free to still bring extra prototypes on the day. They will be added to later playtesting rounds.

(Please note that as a condition of our use of the Jugged Hare, only food and drink bought at the pub can be consumed on the premises.)

We also have a guild page on BGG: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/guild/1398
