ARRIVAL TIME AND CANCELLATIONS
Show up and leave any time you like-- but expect that if you're late it is more likely that you will have to wait before you can get into a game.

This event may fill up, in which case there will be a waiting list. If you RSVP and later find that you are unable to attend, please indicate so by updating your status accordingly at least one hour prior to the meet time so that people in the queue have time to react to getting in. Host will go through the sign-in sheet afterward and mark no-shows. Three or more no-shows in the current quarter will affect your ability to hold an RSVP in advance.

Restaurant closes at 8PM-- Target cleanup time so that we are all able to leave by 8PM sharp! When lights dim, it is time to begin cleanup.

REGARDING GAMES
Game selection depends entirely on what is brought by attendees and made available to share. Consider bringing your favorites to teach and play with others. There will be a table designated as a Game Pool where games may be placed, to indicate that the owners of those games do not mind other members borrowing them for the duration of the event. You are encouraged to announce in comments below what games you plan to bring and/or a few that you would like to try.

SPECIAL EVENT:
GAME SALE/TRADE
You may bring both used and new boardgames to this event to sell or trade! Please use this online document to list any games you would like to offer-- you may list them in the comments of this meetup as well if you like. If you are interested in an offered game, just message the seller and let them know to bring it. Please limit the number of games you bring for sale/trade without prior arrangement or interest to five (5) games maximum. These may be placed around the fireplace area with price tag and owner name on each game.
