Charcuterie Board: Meaty Board Game Night
The Highbinder, 630 Rhode Island Ave NE, Washington, DC, USA note from the organizers: We see that this is becoming a popular event and so there's not a ton of space available for general non Patreon members rsvp'ing via meetup. Space is limited by how many volunteers we have to host games each month, and first access goes to the members of the Patreon who support everything DCGG does. We have the goal to train and provide additional staff for this event as we gain capacity.
Note: If you are a member of the Patreon and have already secured early access via the form you do NOT need to RSVP on Meetup.
By popular demand and with the amazing friendship of the Highbinder Bar, we are introducing the Charcuterie Board! These are meaty games for experienced tabletop players or players who are comfortable with complexity.
About the Games
This series will focus on bringing experienced tabletop fans and meaty games together. These games will include titles with rulesets that are a bit more complex, take a bit more time, and are often strategic and competitive.DCGG will curate the games and provide trained game hosts to help get games going quickly and make sure all players are supported as they learn and engage with the games.
The month's games will be in the title of this event.
Who this event is for:
Self-declared board game enthusiasts and/or people people looking to get into the hobby of tabletop games. While our game hosts will be there to help explain the game and rules, this event is targeted at players who are comfortable learning lots of rules and dedicating a few hours to a single game. And as always, DCGG enforces polite and healthy play spaces.Not into complex games or just not ready for the meaty games?
Please explore our other events, such as Meat You at Fat Pete's or Rhythm and Brews, which have more party-focused and easy- to mid-level games.What if we don't have enough players?
Through the power of teamwork and friendship, we will find a way for everyone to play and have a good time. Please arrive on time, or else your space will be forfeit (cuz we often cant wait for people to get games going).BUT WAIT THERES MORE:
