The festival will run June 4-6 in Brooklyn, New York. Games will start at several different locations. The starting location will be noted next to each game. If you want more details on the game, visit the Brooklyn Lyceum during the festival.
Sign-ups
To sign up for a game visit the festival headquarters from June 4-6 at the Brooklyn Lyceum to reserve a slot. We are scrapping online sign-ups this year as they proved unreliable in past years.
Slots are awarded on a first-come serve basis, with additional players placed on a waiting list. You must show up for a game 15 minutes before the start time to claim your spot. Five minutes before the game starts we'll call off names. Anyone not present loses their spot and we'll start taking people off the waiting list.
We've generally always had enough slots for players in the past. So if you want to play a game. Show up at the time it's set to run and quite likely you'll be able to play.
Come and play anytime throughout the festival
