Protospiel Milwaukee 2024

Protospiel Milwaukee is a popular game design and development convention. Board game designers with all types of experience get together to test and promote game prototypes in a supportive, cooperative environment. This collaborative event is based on sharing experiences and insight toward a goal of making the best games.

This is the second year that this event will be hosted by Stan Kordonskiy and his company Half-a-Kingdom Games with help and support from its original host Eric Jome. Stan is a long time Protospiel participant and has gotten tremendous value out of these events. His games such as Lockup, Rurik, Endless Winter and several others were all Protospiel prototypes which were tested and improved at these conventions. As were many other popular games by many other designers. In order to keep this great tradition going all profits from badge sales will go towards future convention costs.

Our venue this year is smaller, with 80 persons maximum occupancy. Once we approach that number for a given day we'll suspend further badge sales and no door tickets will be available on the sold out days. On the days that we are under capacity, single day designer tickets will be available at $40 per person, single day play tester tickets at $20 per person. Cash only please when purchasing at the door.

Let's keep each other safe! Protospiel Milwaukee asks that you refrain from attending if you are experiencing symptoms of contagious illness.
