The Spielmasons hard at work during one of their weekly meetings.

Spielmasons are a collective of board gaming enthusiasts that play and test games developed by Omaha-area designers. Spielmasons meetings and sessions are open to the public with the only requirement being an interest in testing unpublished games. Spielmasons strive to provide honest and meaningful feedback to designers in order to facilitate the shortest path to improvement. In addition to weekly meetings and sessions, Spielmasons host design challenges and design jams as well as being a resource to Spielbound in the areas of design and education.

Goals

  • Promote analog gaming in the Omaha area
  • Be a trusted resource for Omaha area designers
  • Be an avenue for unpublished games through provision of publishing insight
  • Create a network of game designers and artists
  • To give advice and ideas to make games even better
  • Development of a ‘Spielmasons Tested’ and ‘Spielmasons Approved’ criteria
