What we’re about
This is a group for playing a variety of modern board games. Feel free to come empty-handed as I will bring my copy of the scheduled game. Each event will be limited attendance based on how many people can play each game.
Some examples of games that I plan to host:
- Obsession
- Kemet
- Dune: Imperium
- Churchill
- Hadrian’s Wall
- Scythe
- Terraforming Mars
- Wingspan
If anyone is interested in playing a game from their collection, please let me know. I am always open to new games.

In Blood Rage players control the warriors, leader, and ship of their own Viking clan. Invade and pillage the land for its rewards; crush your opponents in battle: fulfill quests: increase your clan's stats: or even die gloriously in battle. Cards are drafted at the beginning of each of the three game rounds granting numerous boons for your clan including: increased Viking strength and devious battle strategies, upgrades to your clan, or even the aid of legendary creatures from Norse mythology. The only losing strategy in Blood Rage is to shy away from battle and a glorious death!
