About us
We're a local community centered around board games, card games, and pen & paper roleplaying games. We get together every Wednesday at Empire for an evening of intermediate to advanced board games. We often raise money for local charities and give away board games, generously donated by sponsors.
If your board game preferences lean more toward the classics such as Monopoly, Clue, Mexican Trains, and/or similar light games, please check out other Albuquerque Meetup groups, as Dukes Night caters specifically to modern, more complex games.
