This is a structured event focused on practising English speaking skills. For this purpose, we play communicative (board) games.
The event is for free.
The games are provided by us and we explain the rules as well. This time, we’re going to playtest our own board game which is still in the process of development.
TO MAKE IT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE:
Mark your attendance at least one day ahead.
Be on time so that we can play for all 2 hours without disturbance.
Don’t worry about your English level. If you could read this far and you understood everything, you’re all set to go!
Bring a friend along so that you share the love and ensure playing the game you fancy!
HOW TO FIND US:
During this summer edition, we’re going to gather in the park Slovanské náměstí again. There are huge stairs in the middle of the park where we meet and either stay there or move a bit further away to play on a blanket on the lawn.
In case of rain, the event may be cancelled.
DISCLAIMER:
By participating, you agree to becoming famous as we are going to take pictures which may be used on social media.
All gaming material created and used during the event belongs to the hosts.
The hosts have the right to change the programme without announcing it beforehand, however, the point of the meetup stays always the same (to practise spoken English via games).

Root Eaters Playtest #12
2023-07-19 18:00 - 20:00 | Lužánky, Park Lužánky, Brno, Czech Republic
Hi lovely people who also happen to love board games!
We are playtesting our game, which is still in the process of creation. The topic of the game is veganism (or how to avoid it). A testing session usually takes up to 2 hours.
Whoever feels like using the unique opportunity of playing a board game which has never been played (and most likely will never be again), do join us!
You do not need any special abilities or knowledge but having some experience with board/card games is helpful. We explain the rules of the game, and all you need to do is to:
show up,
play the game and have fun,
tell us what you like and dislike about it.
UPDATE FROM PAST PLAYTESTS: The rules of the game are complex. Be ready that it takes at least one game to fully understand it.
What is the game about?
Each of us is going to have a secret identity. The identity defines our goals in the game. People with the same goal need to cooperate to win. The issue is that you are never certain about who is on your team and who is bluffing. Also, it may change each round. To win, you need to use your wits and deduction skills.
The game is designed to support conversation. It is going to be played in English so we recommend at least level B1.
Where to find us?
We’re going to meet in Lužánky, near the café Ponava. From there, we’re going to find a cozy spot in the park and play on the ground so feel free to bring a mat or a pillow to sit on.
In case of rain, the event may be cancelled.
