CelestiSpiel

Prototype Playtesting and Game Design

Friday noon - 10 pm Saturday & Sunday 10am - 10 pm | Monday 10 am - 2 pm

Celestispiel brings four days of the Protospiel concept to CelestiCon. At this event, game designers, publishers, and people who just want to playtest come together to playtest nearly-complete tabletop game prototypes including boardgames, card games, and role-playing games. This is a casual atmosphere, where participants are asked to give as much time as they use, and to provide productive feedback to help designers refine their games.

Celestispiel is for:

  • Designers to bring in their nearly finished game prototypes to test and refine.
  • Publishers who wish to discover new designs.
  • Gamers who want to playtest prototypes and provide helpful feedback to help these games achieve their potential.
  • All members of the game industry who have an interest in helping make the next generation of tabletop games even better. 
  • Games of all formats: boardgames, miniatures games, roleplaying games and more.

Celestispiel is not a game design contest. It is an event for designers to personally bring in their own games to playtest.

There will be an orientation session held at 10:00 AM on Saturday morning.

The designated playtesting space will be available throughout the convention, and additional space will be available in the open gaming areas.
