Incubator Playtesting - 15 November @ Lion Hotel
Advertisement
Welcome to Incubator Melbourne! This is our regular event to test prototype games. Newcomers are very welcome and no experience is needed. You don’t need to bring a game to join.
The venue is a pub, however we have a back area (Jac's bar) mostly to ourselves and they turn down the music so it is a bit quieter than usual. Most Sunday's are not busy at the pub, but sometimes they televise sporting events. Where possible, we will give a warning ahead of time if there is a sporting event on.
🗺️ HOW TO FIND US
The Lion Hotel is on level 3 of Melbourne Central, so it is very easy to get to via public transport.
We will be down the back at Jac's Bar. Look for our tables and grab a seat.
👀 WHAT TO EXPECT
- Bring a game to test, or just join in others’ games
- Quick intros, first session, lunch break, then second session
