About us
Join us for boardgames of all types and a relaxing evening.
- We are dedicated to becoming a "Safe Space for Women and LGBTQIA+". Participants must conduct themselves respectfully -- "if you wouldn't say those words to your mother, don't say them here". Organizers will respond immediately to concerns.
- Read an article about our group here (scroll down a bit)
- We are based at the Sweetwaters Cafe at 123 W. Washington Street, Ann Arbor. Cancellations will be announced if the cafe is closed for any reason
- You can bring your own game or take your chances. About 50% of people will bring their own game. Some people come just to experience "new" games
- There is never any cost to attend our events, however, cafe management requires that each participant buy one food or drink item. We are NOT being charged for taking up half of their patron space for 3 hours. A cup of coffee is not that much to ask, I think. They don't charge us rent so it's the least you can do.
We have been in operation since Friday, September 7th, 2018. Isn't that amazing?
Frequently asked questions
- Do you have any D&D players?
You could play an adventure with pre-rolled characters but due to the casual drop-in nature of our group and the fact that reservations are required, I would not suggest a regular "campaign" - Is it really free of charge to attend? You will never be charged to play games. However, this meetup does cost me $360/year so we would appreciate if you kick in $5 or $10 using the Pledge donation button.
