About us
Hello Gamers!
Welcome to Press Start Gaming club. This is a club for true gaming enthusiasts. Our mission is exploring the frontiers of this art form by trying out new games that may be outside of our typical wheelhouse. Essentially it's a book club but for video games!
Every month we pick a game that we will all collectively vote on. Throughout the month we will complete the game and then meet up to discuss it! Group members will submit their suggestions through the discord channel (tell us about the game and why it’s awesome/we should play it!) and at the end of the month we’ll all vote on the game we want to play. The games we select for voting will be based on the preferences, budget, and time commitment of our group. For the sake of variety we will try to mix it up and explore many different genres!
The ultimate goal of this club is to create a space where we can meet up and share our mutual love for the video game art form. This club is born from the love of sharing video games with cool like-minded folks. It comes from the memory of the old days of couch co-op where you would sit down with some friends and experience the simple joy of playing through a game together.
The dream would be to expand this into a weekly event where we could gather and hang out and play some games together (or even just grab a beer) along with the monthly book/video game club meetup.
I work a very busy sales job so I can be slow to respond. I also don't have much experiencing running a club, so the might be some growing pains.
Anyways, you can join the discord here:

Press Start Gaming: Meet Up
Civic Tavern, 213 12 Ave SW, Calgary, AB, CAHello Gamers!
The purpose of this club is create a casual space for gaming enthusiasts to meet up and discuss their passion. In the spirit of couch co-op, nothing beats sharing our passion with like minded people IRL, so come out and make new friends!
The structure of our meets will be bi-weekly. The first meet will be to discuss first impressions and get a feel for the game. The final meeting of the month we will discuss the whole game after beating it. Every month we will vote on our next game based on suggestions from our club members.
This month I will be on vacation, so we will only have one event this month.
Even if you're not currently playing the game with us, come join us and hang out! We're looking to grow the community so that we can all have more like-minded people to share our passion with.
Please note that this event does not have an explicit cap. If the event appears to be full, join the discord and let me/us know that you are coming. As of yet the group is small but as we grow I may look to start booking off the space for the even
I will be the big guy with a top not and a black V neck. Come say hi!
