We are a welcoming community of board game designers and playtesters, please join us and bring your games in development for feedback, to play upcoming games, or just to chat about the hobby and industry! We range from first-time designers, hobby designers, published designers, and publishing companies. We meet **every Tuesday** at The Ludoquist board game cafe in Croydon, from 6:30pm-10pm. We try to ensure that as many games can be played in an evening, and prioritise those that haven't been able to test their games recently, although we cannot guarantee that your game will be played in the first session you join. The **final meeting of each month is reserved for playing published games**. We use this time to catch up on games that we want to try or discuss. You can also join our Facebook Group community for feedback and discussion: https://www.facebook.com/groups/playtestuksouthlondon We look forward to seeing you!

This House Believes UK Museums Should Return Artefacts to Their Countries of Origin **Why Are We Having This Debate** Should museum artifacts be repatriated? Who actually owns the artifacts? Are there any legal obligations to return artefacts? **Articles** [List of contested artefacts at the british museum - British Museum](https://www.britishmuseum.org/about-us/british-museum-story/contested-objects-collection "https://www.britishmuseum.org/about-us/british-museum-story/contested-objects-collection") [Public opinion polls on the topic - YouGov](https://yougov.co.uk/entertainment/articles/36778-should-britain-return-historical-artefacts-their-c "https://yougov.co.uk/entertainment/articles/36778-should-britain-return-historical-artefacts-their-c") **Come along and have your vote!** **What To Expect** 3v3 panel debate where our members explore the strongest arguments for a given topic. A debate should tell the audience what they need to know and not just what the speakers think. If you feel the same way, then we want to meet you. Debate London is the year-round series of free public debates held across London. The series is run by Debate London, a social enterprise that helps its members to advance their personal and professional development by teaching them how to debate. All of our speakers are club members who have agreed to defend a particular perspective the audience need to hear, rather than just share their own personal opinion. After presenting the point of view assigned to them, the audience are then given the floor to cross-examine them and share their own position. The only time we hear what the speakers really think is at the end of the debate when they tell us where they really stand and whether this changed at all while learning how to defend the perspective assigned to them.

For years, PlayerView has been the reliable workhorse that carried a lot of use cases, from short-form videos to movies and ads. But as apps move toward a fully declarative future, wrapping legacy Views in an AndroidView can feel like a compromise. In this session, we will peek under the hood of the new AndroidX Media3 Compose libraries. You will walk away with a bunch of out-of-the box media-related composables and inspiration for your own Views-to-Compose migration journeys. 7:30 PM: Welcome to the Accessibility Jungle by Tati Riabova Mobile Apps Accessibility has always seemed to follow easy and straightforward rules which made working with it similar to ticking boxes off a checklist: add contentDescription, don't forget to update stateDescription etc. That is until you have to deal with a bug that ignores all the rules. Together, we will do a deep dive into how Accessibility Services, like TalkBack, actually work and how composables can suddenly disappear in the Accessibility Jungle. 8:15 PM: Networking --- Speakers Julia Bibik - Google (Media and Compose Developer) Julia is an Android Engineer at Google on the AndroidX team, where she specializes in building Jetpack Compose solutions for the Camera and Media libraries. She is deeply invested in the developer experience and loves hearing "from-the-trenches" stories about migrating Views or shipping new Compose features in production. When she isn’t wrangling internal Google tools or debugging lifecycles, … Tati Riabova - Skyscanner (Android Engineer) Tati is an Android Engineer at Skyscanner. Most of the time you can find her working on new features for Drops, however, making the app accessible for everyone holds a special place in her heart. Hosts Goran Minov - Okta Inc.

For our January meetup, we're back at the fabulous Accurx offices. We are finalising our full speaker lineup and the agenda will be: * 6:30pm - arrive, drinks, networking * 7:00pm - Welcome & Housekeeping * 7:15pm - **Talk 1: Measuring your Platform Engineering impact** Platform Engineering is gaining traction, but its value is often lost in translation. To engineering teams, it means golden paths and reusable pipelines. But how do you make its impact resonate with a CEO, a Head of Product, or even Security and Change Management? In this talk, Christopher will explore how the same platform capabilities, such as environments as a service and Continuous Delivery pipelines, can move the needle for different types of stakeholders. The key is choosing the right metric and telling the right story. He will share real examples from working with platform teams at large enterprises, showing how he's helped: * Explain platform engineering in the language of different stakeholders * Define outcome-based KPIs that align with each sponsor’s priorities * Track those metrics over time to demonstrate value and build accountability He will walk through: * Strategic metrics such as faster market entry and fewer launch failures * Delivery metrics such as lead time and deployment frequency * Enabling metrics such as pipeline reliability and environment readiness * Governance metrics such as change success rates, policy coverage, and audit time **Speaker: Christopher Bater, CTO @ Core Engineering Consulting Group** *Over 20 years Christopher has spent time in most areas of software delivery, product development, JVM library development (concurrency/distributed systems), Infrastructure engineering, architecture & system design and most recently Platform Engineering. He has a passion for speed and stability, focusing on what we need to do next to speed up the software delivery lifecycle. Over the years he’s contributed to many open source projects including Akka & Kubernetes.* * 7.45pm - food, more drinks & networking * 8.00pm - **Talk** **2: "TBC"** **Speaker: Lewis Denham-Parry, Staff Solutions Engineer @ Edera** *Lewis Denham-Parry orchestrates containers by day and puts them through rigorous security testing by night. As Staff Solutions Engineer at Edera, he leverages his diverse background to deliver the robust security and isolation that modern systems demand.* *A dynamic speaker at KubeCon, OSS, SANS, and BSides, Lewis enthusiastically shares his expertise with the global tech community, though his heart remains in the Welsh tech scene.* *You can easily find him online, just search for his surname.* * 8.30pm onwards - drinks and networking. So, please come and join us, we look forward to seeing you there. The LOPUG team. * Food and drinks provided * Good time will be had by all

We playtest all sorts of games - strategic, silly, creative, or whatever. Some games are almost done. Some are very early ideas. We test anything that will fit into 90 minutes. You don't need to bring a game - we always love to have new playtesters! Please let us know in the comments when you plan to arrive/leave and whether you are bringing a game or not. This helps us to plan the day better. The schedule is: 10am onwards - gathering, chatting 11am sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 1') 12:30ish - break for food/chat 1pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 2') 2:30ish - break for food/chat 3pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 3') 4:30ish - finish up Often, we might hang around afterwards, to play some already-published games. We are strict on timings, so please try to arrive a few minutes before the session to limit disruption. You can just come for part of the day if you wish. The reason we have fixed timings for the 3 'slots' is to make it easier for folk to do so. Designers of all levels of experience are welcome! But if it's your first time, we ask that you don't bring a game and just spend some time learning how the group works. The group works based on reciprocation. If you expect to test your own game, make sure stay for long enough to play other games. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to play one of your own games every third 90-minute session. So if you stay a whole day (3 sessions), you can expect to have one session to play your game(s). A good rule of thumb is that if you come all day, you will have one 90 minute session with two other playtesters in which to test your own games. It is sometimes possible to test games with more players. If your game requires 4 or more, please note that as standard you will be allocated half of a session (45 minutes). Pre-covid, we were getting unmanageable. As a result, we may have to limit attendees. This is a free-to-use venue, and we have to be mindful that other folk want to use the same space. Please note: This is an adults only event. We look forward to seeing you!

**\*This is an in-person event\*** Most people hold their ideas too tightly. They refine too early, hesitate to share half-formed concepts, and wait for “perfect” before putting anything in front of a user. Frankie Abralind works the opposite way and that mindset is a big part of why his projects succeed. In this session, Frankie walks you through his real creative process: messy drafts, discarded versions, surprising user reactions, and the moments when he threw out something he loved because the evidence pushed him in a new direction. You’ll see firsthand how treating ideas as *disposable, not precious* accelerates learning and leads to better outcomes. You’ll also get to examine real artifacts from the development of his games **BrainSpin**, **DIEKY**, and **eckso**. Explore prototypes, dive into design dilemmas, and hear candid stories of iteration, failure, and breakthrough that have earned former DT:DC director Frankie Abralind a reputation as an “entrepreneur who ships.” **What you'll learn** • What you need to test an idea quickly • Where to find real users (beyond friends and family) • How to ask non-leading, non-biasing questions • User-testing methods that uncover meaningful insights • Best practices for rapid iteration • How to log feedback, share modifications, and track updates • How to receive feedback with openness and use it productively • How to build, and reward, a network of testers and supporters **Agenda** **6:00pm** – Snacks & connection **6:30pm** – Case Study 1: *BrainSpin* — finding user testers **6:50pm** – Case Study 2: *DIEKY* — play tester appreciation **7:10pm** – Case Study 3: *eckso* — rapid prototyping **7:30pm** – *Zenmo* — live user testing **8:00pm** – Debrief & questions **8:30pm** – Adjourn **About our presenter** **Frankie Abralind** is an experience designer, artist, and neurodiversity advocate. He earned his MBA from the University of Maryland, where he has taught “Innovative Thinking” to graduate students since 2014. He also served as co-director of the Innovation Hub at Johns Hopkins Sibley Memorial Hospital. In 2018, Frankie co-founded **The Good Listening Project**, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening psychological safety in healthcare. He is the inventor of the bestselling game **BrainSpin**, which showcases the power of divergent thinking and collaboration. Today, he leads the stealth startup **Zenmo**, which helps people connect through color. He’s Autistic (and proud!)
