Interested in a board game meetup with a focus on games with deeper strategy and more replayability? Prefer spending your time diving into gameplay rather than learning new rules every session?

“Serious Strategy” is a meetup series designed for those who enjoy thoughtful, engaging games that reward repeated play. We focus on revisiting well-regarded strategy titles that offer depth and challenges not found in more casual or party-style games, offering the opportunity to match wits with other strategically-inclined players.

Three rules:

  1. Learn the game ahead of time (rulebook and/or videos will be provided)
  2. Respect your fellow gamers and the game (be timely and take the game seriously)
  3. Support the venue (order a drink or food from the cafe)

This week's game: Glory to Rome

The legendary card game that helped pioneer the use of multi-purpose cards and shared action selection mechanisms, featuring Carl Chudyk's trademark of crazy card combos. Players are young patricians, helping to rebuild Rome after the Great Fire in a cutthroat race to acquire prestige through the completion of grand construction projects (and secret embezzlement!)

Minimum players: 3 (event will be cancelled if not enough signups)

NOTE: Our venue has room for at least two larger-scale games, but I can only host one game at a time right now. If you'd like to host a second game at our meetup, let me know.

With a limited number of seats, no-shows are no fun - and may prevent us from playing at all - so those who no-show or cancel with less than 48 hours notice will be restricted in their ability to sign up in the future.
