Unpub Mini Hits A Home Run!

Our Unpub Mini held at Redcap's Corner in Philadelphia on Saturday was a big success. Our first official Unpub Mini drew about 30 particpants over the 7 hours of the event. Each of the six official entrants in the event received at least 3 plays and we even slid a special seventh game into the program that saw some action too!

The event started out with games of Assault on Khyber Station and Diamond Ninja seeing early plays. Shortly after that a game of Traitor Tavern broke out followed in short order by a round of Sandwich city. I tried to sit in to the first game of Municipality, but before the end of my second turn I was off presenting my own game Flummox.

Players bounced from table to table most often playing several games while they were there. Plenty of boisterous laughter and the random table slap filled the air! It was so much fun for everyone involved...and there was feedback.  The forms were flying after every game. People were talking to the designers and giving great notes. So, not only was the event fun, but it was rewarding for all the participants.

We've already started a preliminary discussion on when we might be back up to Redcap's Corner. I'll call that a success.

Of course, before we return there we've plenty of other Unpub Minis in the works! Come out and play with us on April 21 at Six Feet Under Games in New Holland, PA! Come join us for games on April 22 at Our Game Table in Dover, Delaware! May 19 we'll be in West Chester, PA at The Games Keep! Washington DC is the destination for our fifth Unpub Mini at Labyrinth Game Shop on May 27! Our last currently scheduled Unpub Mini is in Jenkintown, PA at 7th Dimension Games on Saturday June 23! Join us for any or all of these upcoming events and watch out for announcements as we add new Unpub Minis!

In the meantime, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are 49 photos from this Saturday's event!

I cannot give enough thanks to the other designers Jay Treat, JasonTagmire, Michael R. Keller, Brandon Kavitsky, Alex Strang, George Tagmire, and Dan Cassar. Their creations were the show! That's why people came out...that's what people came out to see!

I can't neglect Redcap's Corner. They have a great little shop with plenty of space. They were generous with resources and took a chance on something new. It was really a great day.

On a personal note, I want to thank my girlfriend, Katherine. She picked up a lot of administration duties Saturday and took photos throughout the day. She made it easier for me to get my game tested again, and I can't thank her enough.

I have been completely overwhelmed by the response and support this little idea...movement has received. Please, keep the support coming. Help us continue to grow and make it better for everyone!

Thank you all!
