The Alpha
needs fighters

Thrackdown is in Open Alpha, and we need more people playing games, trying different warbands and telling us what works and what doesn’t.

You do not need to be an experienced playtester. Download the rules, play a game, and send us your feedback. If you want to discuss the rules, share your warband or follow development, you can also join the Discord.

Playtest Feedback

Tell us the four things

Playtest reports help us work out what needs fixing, clarifying or expanding. You do not need to write an essay. After a game, there are four things we are especially interested in:

What Broke

Rules that contradicted each other, combos that felt unstoppable, maths that didn't add up.

What Confused

Anything you had to reread, discuss at the table or make a ruling for on the spot.

What Dragged

The moments the game slowed down, the turns that felt samey, the rules nobody ever used.

What Worked

The moments that felt good, rules that clicked straight away, or anything everyone at the table wanted to do again.

Send it through the feedback form, or post in the Discord feedback channel, with the warbands you used, the scenario you played and anything that stood out. Feedback from the Open Alpha is used when reviewing rules for future updates.
