Bring a friend.

Do you love playing entertaining board games? Come out to play some new games and old favorites. Learn where other enthusiasts congregate online and face-to-face in the greater Austin area. Play the new style of easy-to-understand, full-participation, fun-to-play games that go beyond what you played as a child. Curious? Come out and learn about easy family games and more challenging strategic games. You may even find some gamers in your own neighborhood. If you want to host a game night at your house or you live in an apartment complex where we could use your clubhouse, click my picture and email me.

Ever hear of wonderful games like Ticket to Ride, Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Power Grid, Puerto Rico, Tichu, or Tigris and Euphrates? Or are you an Outburst, Scattergories, Cranium, type of fan? Are you a Scrabble and Bogggle Fan? Either way, let's play! It's worth the drive!

Don't be offended if you are purged as an inactive member. This group is for people who want to get together to play games; not just people who want to say I've played a game before and I'd do it again so I'll join this group. Come to play games, not to hit on our members.

Join us for Sunday gaming at Plank's in Austin. There's already Saturday gaming at Great Hall and lots of Epic/Jumbo type events. Plank's is going to mark off a large section for us. Planks has traditional two-person games on the table like Connect 4, Othello, and Battleship. We won't be playing those much, but it let me know that they were friendly to games. Read more
