After a LOT of work over the holidays, we are happy to announce that our Private Beta and Print and Play are finally ready! A big thanks to Tania Gomes for helping us layout the rulebook and Print and Play instructions all throughout the end of the year for it to be ready right now!
Note, this is NOT a full public Print and Play (PnP) playtest, meaning, if you’re interested in trying out the game via the PnP, you’ll have to send us an email at info@deadalivegames.com to “qualify” (it’s very easy to qualify). Why are we doing a “private” beta playtest instead of public? Because:
The game rules are still in a pretty raw state and we’re using this beta to refine the rules.
We want to make sure that people who want to try it out are motivated to at least playtest a few times and provide feedback, which we really need at this stage of the game.
We want to reward our most dedicated supporters and let them see the game first.
So what does that mean and how do you “get in”?
For those of you in the San Francisco Bay Area, just send us a note and we can give you access or we can schedule a live demo/playtest session with you.
For those who are not local, we’re looking for people who:
Have never played the game before OR have friends or local community who have never played it before and would like to try.
Are willing to learn or teach the game from reading the draft rulebook alone.
Can commit to filling out a playtest survey after each game to help us improve the game.
If you qualify for the above 3 criteria, contact us at info@deadalivegames.com with your name and provide the following information:
Your favorite board game
Your favorite miniatures game
How you heard about us
We will then provide print and play files including character cards and standees, game board, rules, etc. You will need to provide your own dice and various tokens and counters.
We’ll also ask you to join our private FB group for playtesters to ask questions and discuss.
Hopefully after a couple months of blind and regular playtests, we’ll be able to provide the Print and Play to the wide public. So keep your eyes out on our social media or newsletters to see when that happens!
