Okay, shall we say that each player brings a game of their own or anyone
else's design, and puts it in the pool? Now we can do 2 things, depending
on games and players. If we have enough people, we do a tourney. If we only
have a few, we do invent-and-play or a double-game tourney, with people
playing 2 games at a time against each other. Games for tourney to be
decided by vote; a simple 50% thumbs down removes a game. Games for invent
and play are of one's own design, and what we do here is tough. Since this
is playtesting, the games are not expected to be 'perfect', but they need
to be readily understandable and playable. So I suggest any game in this
category be written up, with a preset [help is available - ask],
adequately enough to be posted as is. If all the I&P games are good, that
is, readily playable or fixable and then playable, we could do a
round-robin tourney, with each player playing their own and the other
player's game. As we see who's willing, we can make firmer plans. 
This is a very sketchy outline, but we have very sketchy participation
now.  If enough people are interested, I will revive Invent and Play
regardless of what tourney activity may happen.
