Protospiel Madison 2024
The country’s best game design convention has come to Madison, Wisconsin. Welcome to Protospiel! If you are a game designer looking to get professional level feedback from other designers there is no better place to get that feedback. With around 100 other designers in attendance you’ll have the opportunity to play test your designs many times through-out the weekend. And the friendships you’ll make will last a lifetime. If you’re a gamer who likes to try out new things, then Protospiel is also likely the best experience you’ll have. You’ll get to see dozens if not hundreds of new designs in a single weekend. Plus you’ll get to shape them before they hit the shelves of stores or the pages of Kickstarter. Badge purchase required for entry.
November 9 – 10

There is a Young Collectors’ Corner where only children under twelve are admitted to purchase artwork of their choosing. Much of the art is the same as in exhibitors’ booths but at a much reduced price. Patron admission $5 at the door; under 12 free.
