Welcome to Incubator Melbourne!
Curious about how board games are made? 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 and play.

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.

Please RSVP here and cancel if you cannot attend. Total attendance is higher than the Meetup RSVP list, and we typically have a good-sized group on the day.

🗺️ 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’ll 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
