What we’re about
Hello everyone. I saw this group is in need of someone to host events. I have another group on meetup, Plainfield board games. We play at my house almost every weekend, i have 30 members in my group. Everyone here is welcome to join my Plainfield group too. We don't play super light casual games, with the exception of some party games like Coup, Deception - Murder in Hong Kong and couple others. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Of course everyone here is free to continue to enjoy your board games events the way you did it before , in a public place or wherever, if that is an option.
# I have a decent collection ( over 200) of board games. You can bring a friend if you want to , just add them as " + 1 quest " please. I suppose some people might be hesitant meeting strangers if it’s not at some public place, but i can assure you, I am completely normal, friendly and very social person and I have no doubt that you will have a great time here. You can check my address on the map, l live in the middle of Plainfield, surrounded by upper middle class big houses, it's a nice area. I can offer big table, comfortable chairs and relaxing, friendly environment. You can see my collection on this boardgamegeek.com linkhttps://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/SaifurClicking on " large gallery mode " (top left corner) will give you better view of the games. There are a few pages with games. Please keep in mind that playing any of the games in my collection takes from 2 to 3 hours (sometimes even longer). In any case you have to be sure that you are free for at least 3 to 4 hours.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------We play different games every time. I rotate them constantly, so if someone doesn't like the game we played, they will know something else will be played next time. I often post few options and players vote what they want to play. Please check the comments section under each event !
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------I want to emphasize that we do not play very light type of games ( Catan, Ticket to ride , etc ), but i have plenty of more casual and medium weight games. All games in my collection are top rated on boardgamegeek.com, with great positive reviews and really enjoyable to play. You are not expected to know the rules of the game we will be playing. I have been playing board games for many years and i am used to explaining the rules every time before we start playing, so don't worry about that. During the game i will always help you to figure out how everything works, will give you advice, and it doesn't matter that you are my opponent in the game. For me its more important people to enjoy the games and their time here, and considering the overall feedback, I think I manage to achieve that for most players. As a hobby, I also paint miniatures, so you will also have the chance to play some games with uniquely painted figures.Some of the games i have painted are "Blood Rage","Rising sun"," The Godfather"," Scythe","Western legends"," The Walking dead- here's Negan"," Narcos " ,"Cthulhu Wars", "Vengeance", "Hannibal&Hamilcar ", "Imperial Assault" , " Mythic Battles" and others. I have probably close to 1 000 if not more painted figures from the miniatures game " A song of ice and fire" ( Game of Thrones ). Feel free to bring whatever snacks or drinks you want, although I always have something to offer here (snacks, soda, beer, etc ) I am only asking you not to bring stuff that is greasy, just use common sense, no one likes sticky fingerprints on their board game components.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The address is 25719 Pastoral dr. Plainfield, 60585. You can park in the driveway, that is fine My phone number is 747 888 7740. Please, always check your personal messages on meetup before the actual gaming session. If I have to cancel the meeting, I will send message to everybody who signed up. The reason for canceling could be because not enough people signed up or if too many people canceled which again leaves us with not enough players.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I can't overstate how important this is - please BE here ON TIME! If you are the only person ( or group of people coming together ) it is OK to be a little late, but that's rarely the case, and if you are late, that means there are 3 , 4 or 5 people just sitting here, doing nothing and waiting for you. Not only you would be wasting other people time ( and some of them probably have limited time ), but you might discourage new players from coming back again, if they are left with the impression that our events are poorly organized. Please consider other people time and be punctual.
I do not host games on multiple tables . The maximum number of player we can have is 8.
