No Land Beyond is excited for the return of The Play Lab! Join four different local indie designers as they playtest and show off their upcoming games!
As a player in the Play Lab you'll be playtesting games made by members of the No Land Beyond and Maryland community! It's a great way to play something new, expand your gaming horizions, meet new friends, and support the many indie creators who live and work near you!
We recommend pre-registering for the games you're most interested in trying out! Please grab a ticket for all the games you want to playtest so the designers can gauge interest in their games and know how many folks are coming out.

Available Games:
Pantheon Loreholders
Draft a pantheon of gods, heroes, and relics from Egyptian, Greek, Norse, and Shinto mythology to battle for supremacy! Combining the deep, combo-driven deckbuilding of Magic: The Gathering with a push-your-luck Yahtzee style economy. With almost 200 cards and effects, no two decks play alike. Every card is crafted with genuine respect for the diverse cultures and mythologies it draws from.
2-4 Players
~30 minute play time
Unnamed Basketball Card/Board Game
A combination of bluffing and spatial strategy meant to capture the spirit of a basketball game. Players take turns playing offense or defense, with the offense assigning hidden actions to their players and the defense trying to predict those actions. Generate momentum in a possession and score or prevent the other team from scoring.
2 Players
~30-60 minute play time
Porcelain Souls
You woke on a shelf with someone else's memories in your chest and no one left to ask about them. The humans are gone; their souls are not. You are a small doll in a drowned world built for giants. A horror tabletop RPG. Your deck is your body.
3-4 Players
~60-90 minute play time
Westminster Dog Show
A bizarre thinky trick-taking game. You decide how much time to invest in grooming each of your pooches and try to take best in show!
