I TalkG sono un’occasione

TalkG Registration

A meeting and discussion reserved for members of SAZ (Spiele-Autoren-Zunft), the association of game designers.

The meeting provides an opportunity to share updates on the association’s activities, discuss ongoing projects and explore future initiatives.

A chance to meet in person, exchange ideas and contribute actively to the association, taking advantage of the presence of so many game designers at IDEAG.

IDEAG gets underway on Friday evening with a dedicated playtesting session for anyone eager to start testing their prototypes.

IDEAG Night is an opportunity to get a head start on the weekend’s activities, meet other participants and spend a few hours testing and discussing games in development.

For this evening, 56 tables will be available to book for a fee of €5 per table.

Booking is required to participate in the evening session. During IDEAG Night, only reserved tables will be accessible; all other event areas will remain closed.

IDEAG NIGHT Registration

On Saturday, IDEAG gets into full swing, with over 100 tables dedicated to prototype playtesting.

A full day for game designers to present their games, test them with different players, gather feedback and discuss game mechanics, rules and design decisions.

Playtesters can join tables, discover games still in development and make a real contribution to their evolution.

This is the heart of IDEAG: playing, observing, discussing and improving prototypes together.

Back by popular demand, La Cialtronata! An evening of team games, jokes and cabaret organised by SAZ members.

Participation requires advance booking and a fee of €5.

The final day of IDEAG offers more opportunities to test prototypes and exchange ideas, with playtesting tables available until the event closes.

For game designers, it is a chance to continue gathering feedback, test changes suggested over the previous days and discuss their games in greater depth with those who have played them.

For playtesters, it is a final opportunity to discover new prototypes, try games they have already encountered and contribute to their development.

Activities will conclude at 18:00, marking the end of IDEAG National Meeting 2027.
