[game_edu] Prototyping/Playtesting groups?

[Ira Fay]

Hello Ian,

 

Hampshire has a non-digital game playtesting group that meets weekly. Also, I'm teaching a class next semester called Analog Game Design, and I've scheduled extra weekly sessions for the students in that class in particular. We'd be happy to be involved in an inter-campus prototype exchange!

 

Thanks,

Ira

Something that just occurred to me.

 

At RIT, we have a student club that meets weekly to playtest non-digital prototypes. For any students or faculty who want to design board games, this has been a godsend. (No, I can't take credit for this one - it was set up before I got here.)

 

Do any student clubs/orgs like this exist at other schools? I'm sure it's not exactly a common thing, but we can't possibly be the only one, and it'd be good to know what other playtest groups are out there (I'm thinking of coordinated prototype exchanges between groups, for example). Raise your hand if you've got one of these on your campus?

 

- Ian
