Learn (almost) everything you need to know if you are looking to manufacture your first board game project. We’ll discuss the general production process, how to design games with manufacturing in mind, component options, and expert tips. Presented by Panda Game Manufacturing.
Good gamers play nice with others. In that spirit we are asking all attendees of Protospiel San Jose to park behind Game Kastle or off to the right side (green checks in photo below). Please DO NOT park in front of the store (red x below). Leave that parking for the people who need access to Trader Joes. If you park in back, there is a sidewalk that takes you right up to the Game Kastle entrance. Thank you!
Overworld Games, who has been making games like Good Cop Bad Cop, Barker’s Row, Leaders of Euphoria, and New Salem since 2014, is re-branding itself as Pull the Pin Games. The new branding signals the beginning of a focus on quick, large group, small box, social games that are very easy to learn for new players, but are packed with strategic choices for veterans -- all at a very affordable price.
Brian Henk, President of Pull the Pin Games will be joining us for Protospiel San Jose. Brian is the co-designer of games like Good Cop Bad Cop, Exposed, New Salem, and Leaders of Euphoria. He is also one of the co-hosts on the Board Game Business Podcast where he discusses the business side of the tabletop game industry.

Join us for an exciting announcement about an upcoming non-profit organization dedicated to board game designers and honoring our friend Rohan Dargad. John Shulters (Black Straw Games) and Brandon Raasch (BARD Games) will give a short presentation announcing the Rohan Dargad Foundation, formed by the generosity of the Dargad family to honor the memory of a fellow, local game designer and grow the board game design community he loved. Brandon and John will share information about the mission of the Foundation and announce upcoming plans for 2020, including a board game design scholarship. Be the first to join us as we set forth to support the growing board game community in the Bay Area and across the country!

Greetings,
A map of the floor and Tag Table assignments are posted below. Keep in mind that a group of Volunteers goes to Game Kastle Thursday night to set up the tables. If there is an issue with setup, this map is subject to change.
Designers will receive a separate direct email with contact information for other designers to coordinate with tag partners. It is suggested that designers take turns at the table in 3-4 hour shifts so they have time to play other designer's games.
Greetings,
Just some quick reminders of impending deadlines.
The last day a to get an easy refund through the badge system (Tabletop.Events) is September 29th.
We set a refund deadlined for designer badges because we need to lock the budget to order raffle prizes and snacks. However, as long as we have a waitlist for designer badges, I can offer some manually issued late refunds. If you have a designer badge, and can’t make it to the event, email us at boardgamebuilders@gmail.com and we can refund and replace your spot with a designer from the wait list. Please let us know no later then October 7th.
Last day to make a reservation at the group rate is Th the 26th.
