What we’re about
The Hawkes Bay Geeks Guild is a community for likeminded geeks, nerds, otakus and gamers to meet and hang out (online and in the real world).
If you like board games, card games, video games, role play, superhero movies, comic books, anime, sci-fi, fantasy or anything geeky, this is the guild for you!

See all- Monday Night GamesDave's House, Napier
Monday Night Games is weekly event for geeks to get together and play board and card games.
A list of games can be found here. They range from "party" games that are easy to learn and jump into, to trickier "euro" games that will take the whole night to play.
With around 5 tables we have plenty of room to game, and inexperience shouldn't hold you back as games are taught nearly every week.

Mother of Learning by Domagoj Kurmaić
It cannot be found in your local library or Libby, however it IS on Audible, Kindle, Kobo, and for free online: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21220/mother-of-learning
“Zorian Kazinski has all the time in the world to get stronger, and he plans on taking full advantage of it.
A teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, Zorian is attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. A driven and quiet young man, he is consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, resenting the Kazinskis for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, Zorian has no time for pointless distractions, much less other people's problems.
As it happens, though, time is something he is about to get plenty of.
On the eve of Cyoria's annual summer festival, Zorian is murdered, then abruptly brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take the train to school. Finding himself trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, he will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery set before him. He does have to unravel it, too, because the loop clearly wasn’t made for his sake, and in a world of magic even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill.
Fortunately for Zorian, repetition is the mother of learning…”
