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

If anyone is interested in playing a game from their collection, please let me know. I am always open to new games.
Upcoming events (3)
See all- A Feast for OdinCharles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library, Alexandria, VA
We will be playing A Feast for Odin with up to 4 players. If you have a copy of this game please let me know and I will open the event to more players. All experience levels welcome. Expect the game teach to start promptly within the first 10 minutes.
In A Feast for Odin you are reliving the cultural achievements, mercantile expeditions, and pillages of Vikings. It is a worker placement and tile placement game in which you will raid and explore new territories. You will also engage in the day-to-day activity of collecting goods with which to achieve a financially secure position in society. In the end, the player whose possessions bear the greatest value will be declared the winner.

- Spirit IslandCharles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library, Alexandria, VA
We will be playing two games of Spirit Island with up to 8 players. All experience levels welcome. Expect the game teach to start promptly within the first 10 minutes.
Spirit Island is a complex and thematic co-operative game about defending your island home from colonizing Invaders. Players are different spirits of the land, each with its own unique elemental powers. Spirit Island takes place in the most distant reaches of the world where magic still exists, embodied by spirits of the land, of the sky, and of every natural thing. As the great powers of Europe stretch their colonial empires further and further, they will inevitably lay claim to a place where spirits still hold power - and when they do, the land itself will fight back alongside the islanders who live there.
