ProtoSPIEL NORTH

Making amazing board games together!

ABOUT

Protospiel North is an extension of the popular series of Protospiel board game design and development conventions. Amateur and established board game designers get together to test and improve game prototypes in a supportive, cooperative environment. This casual event is based on sharing experiences and insight toward a goal of making the best games.

Protospiel North uses the same free-flowing format as the other Protospiel events. There are no schedules, formal structure, or timeslots for specific playtests. Designers and playtesters simply grab a table and play games.

The event works on the premise of getting everyone’s games to the table and collaboratively working to make better games and better designers.
