Bring Your Own Games Night at "The Landing" in the Crystal City Shops

Hey All,

The Beer and Board Games group will be meeting at the area known as the Landing in Crystal City. It is located next to the San Antonio Bar & Grill.

This group is very beginner friendly, so if you don't know any of the games provided, be prepared to learn a new one. You are also welcome to bring your own games. People trickle in and out throughout the night so if you show up late, just wait a bit for other games to finish or for more people show up.

Here are some examples of the games we like to play.

• Concordia
• Istanbul
• The Quacks of Quedlinburg
• Azul
• Splendor
• Werewords
• Resistance: Avalon

The Process:

Folks come to the event either empty handed or with a selection of board games to share. The games available vary from event to event.

Generally speaking, when people bring games to an event at the Landing, they place them near one of the back pillars in the food court area, which then becomes the game 'library' for the group. Members typically mill around this area until they find enough people to play something mutually agreeable.

When you’ve finished playing a borrowed game, place it back where you found it, in the same condition you found it in (pieces in bags, all decks secured with rubber bands, etc). If you decide to leave your game in the game library, please make sure the box is identifiably yours. Many titles are popular and there might be more than one copy of a particular game at the same event.

Parking in the building is free after 4pm. If taking Metrorail, it is the Crystal City stop.

Directions from the Metro:

If you're taking the Metro, exit at Crystal City. When you come up the first set of escalators, turn right to enter the underground shops and then turn right after the Ship’s Hatch store. Continue straight and The Landing will be the large open seating area on your right, next to San Antonio Bar & Grill and Subway.

Parking:

If you're driving, garage parking is free after 4 pm. Enter the garage for 1750 Crystal Drive on 18th Street and take a ticket. (You'll need this to exit, but there's no charge). Take the elevators up to Level S. The Landing is the large open seating area next to San Antonio Bar & Grill and Subway.

If that parking garage is full, exit the garage and turn left on 18th and left again on Crystal Drive. A second parking garage is located on Crystal Drive between 18th Street and 15th Street.
