Chicago Game Lovers

Drop-in; no registration or RSVP necessary. Now meets at Evanston Games and Cafe, in EVANSTON. Convenient to both El and Metra. Details at https://humanist-art.org/rogers-park-scrabble-club .

Come play all kinds of board games on Monday nights! Both beginners and experienced gamers are welcome. You're not expected to know any of the games as we're always happy to do teach-and-plays. While the hosts will bring games, we also encourage members to bring any games they'd like to play.

ATTENDANCE
You do not have to arrive at 5:30 sharp! People drop in-and-out throughout the Meetup and we often play more than one game a night. For those driving, there is plenty of free parking near the location.

FOOD & DRINK
While there is no cover charge or minimum purchase, we do ask that you support the venue by making a purchase when attending. The brewery has a lot of non-alcoholic beverage options for those that do not drink alcohol. You are allowed to bring outside food into the brewery as they do not serve food.
