A little too short notice to post to the front page, but for those that are interested there's going to be a playtest tonight at the NYU Game Center... also free pizza.

Here's the info:

Join us to playtest a creation in progress at the NYU Game Center. Pizza will be served.

Independent New York game designers Karen Sideman and Eric Zimmerman (who is also an NYU faculty at the new Game Center) invite interested students and other game players to playtest a creation in progress on Friday October 16 at 6pm in the Game Center Lobby, on the 9th floor of 921 Broadway. Pizza and an evening of challenging fun will be provided.

The game, called "Tribes" is a massively multiplayer in-person social strategy game. Players are Neolithic hunters and gathers struggling against nature, fate and each other to survive, expand and maybe invent the wheel. Expect fierce rivalry, suave negotiation and outright deception as tribes compete for scarce resources, but the game also offers the possibility of a unique collaborative victory

Can you lead your tribe out of the Stone Age?
