Watch The Skies Playtest

Uncategorized

We're playtesting a new variant of Watch The Skies and would love you to come and help us!

Watch The Skies, the well known megagame of what could happen if aliens were to visit Earth, written by Jim Wallman.

We've got plans to put on a great new version of the game, in 2022, but before we can we need to test our rulebooks and make sure we haven't fundamentally broken the game.

The playtest will host around 23 players and we plan to run at least 3 turns at 45 mins each. You will be cast as a member (Head of State, Foreign Minister or Military Commander) of one of five African countries or as a scientist, a member of a corporation or the aliens visiting earth.

This playtest will focus primarily on the human game and we'll need you to bring your critical eye with you. What do you think went well from your perspective and what could be improved? This won't be a standard megagame, so whilst we fully expect players to have fun in the roles, this is more about understanding if the game we have created works and doesn't break down in the middle of turn one.

As a thank-you, we'll be providing snacks and drinks so come along and be part of an exciting new version of Watch The Skies!

The venue is just a...

  • 10 minute walk from Denmark Hill station
  • 20 minute walk from Loughborough Junction station
  • 25 minute walk from Oval Underground station

London buses also stop right outside the venue, so check to see what public transport is best for you.

Based on any regulations that exist on 25 September, we will be following the UK government's guidelines with regards to Covid-19.
