Welcome to the Birmingham Playtest UK meetup, hosted at Chance & Counters in Birmingham city centre (or near enough!).We have a growing number of board game designers in the Birmingham area who need playtesters for their games. This event is for those designers to get together, along with playtesters, and gather feedback on their latest designs.
Who is this event for?
We welcome anyone to this event: If you're a game designer, bring your designs. If you're an experienced playtester, we really need your help to make our games even better. If you're not an experienced playtester, we welcome you to join us and learn how games are made. If you've never played a board game before, we have games that are easy to learn!
What will happen at the event?
Board game designers will bring along prototype games at various stages of development, from handwritten cards to games that look ready to buy. You'll be able to choose from a number of games to playtest. Usually, the designer will explain the game rather than ask you to read the rules but this depends on what stage the game is at. You'll either play the full game or a few rounds depending on what feedback the designer needs. You'll then be asked what you thought of the game in a short debrief session. The designer will then probably thank you for playing!
When is this event?
This meetup happens on the second Wednesday and last Tuesday of every month

Is there an entry fee?
The event is free for designers. Designers also get 1 free (non-alcoholic) drink!
Playtesters get a £50% discount on the normal entry fee of £6 and as long as you play one of our games your discount will be applied and can stay for the rest of the night any play published games from the library (as long as there's space, but there should be!).
Anything else I need to know?
Chance & Counters asks that people don't bring their own food to the site but they serve (excellent) food on-site and our events always coincide with Taco Tuesday (half-price tacos) and Wing Wednesday (half-price wings).
Chance & Counters is less than a 10-minute walk from New Street Station and has street parking around the area which is free after 6 pm (but always check this yourself!)
