Gather to learn and play non-traditional boardgames (both European and American style). Plus there's beer!

If you are a fan of Euro games (Puerto Rico, Carcassonne, Dominion, etc.) or "Ameritrash" boardgames (Talisman, Arkham Horror, Cosmic Encounter), then this is the group for you. If you're interested in learning about these strange, cool games, then this is the group for you. If you only like to play Monopoly, Scrabble, Risk, or Trivial Pursuit, then this probably NOT the group for you! ;)

My intent is to create a fun group to play board games, socialize and drink beer with.

We are a south Austin based meetup and meet at Rockin' Tomato on South Lamar.

We start right around 7:00 or when most of the Yes RSVPs show up, which ever is earlier. If you want to get in on a specific game or you need the rules explained, please be sure to get there before 7.

Typically, there will be a featured game which I will teach and a "sideboard" game. The sideboard game is usually one which many people are familiar with. When people arrive, they have a choice of the featured game or the sideboard game, until one is full.
