About us
We're a local community centered around board games, card games, and pen & paper roleplaying games. We get together every Wednesday at Empire for an evening of intermediate to advanced board games. We often raise money for local charities and give away board games, generously donated by sponsors.
If your board game preferences lean more toward the classics such as Monopoly, Clue, Mexican Trains, and/or similar light games, please check out other Albuquerque Meetup groups, as Dukes Night caters specifically to modern, more complex games.

Social Games: Deception: Murder in Hong Kong
Empire Board Game Library, 3503 Central Ave NE, Albuquerque, NM, USThis is your night to try out the best in cooperative (and competitive) social, interactive, and often narrative-based board games. Seats are limited so reserve yours now:
https://empireboardgamelibrary.com/store/EMPIRE-EVENTSIn the game, players take on the roles of investigators attempting to solve a murder case – but there's a twist. The killer is one of the investigators! Each player's role and team are randomly assigned at the start of play and include the unique roles of Forensic Scientist, Witness, Investigator, Murderer, and Accomplice. While the Investigators attempt to deduce the truth, the murderer's team must deceive and mislead. This is a battle of wits!
The Forensic Scientist has the solution but can express the clues only using special scene tiles while the investigators (and the murderer) attempt to interpret the evidence. In order to succeed, the investigators must not only deduce the truth from the clues of the Forensic Scientist, they must also see through the misdirection being injected into the equation by the Murderer and Accomplice!
Find out who among you can cut through deception to find the truth and who is capable of getting away with murder!Your ticket includes game time and a dessert or drink!
We're gonna show you how to play, then you're gonna play it. Easy as

https://empireboardgamelibrary.com/store/EMPIRE-EVENTSMurder on the Dancefloor is a whodunnit where everyone has a part to play!
It's the 1950s, small-town USA: and tonight Flo's Diner is the place to be. It's the most popular place in town, and the local hangout for teens and adults alike. Neon lights flash out front, the checkered dancefloor sparkles inside, and the seats are polished to perfection.
Tonight the diner is set to host the town's annual Dance-off competition. Famous celebrities have arrived at the event to help judge, while many keen locals and newcomers wish to participate. As the sun sets in the sky, the diner fills with people and the night begins. The dancefloor is flashing, milkshakes and burgers are being served constantly, and there's a great vibe of enthusiasm.
But suddenly a terrifying scream echoes throughout the diner, causing panic! Local bad-boy, Ricky Johnson has been found dead in the male restroom by his best friend, Mikey Reed. Mikey found Ricky on the bathroom floor, with a fatal knife wound to his chest.
With the local police officer already at the diner, everyone is told to remain on the premises. Detective Hudson has ordered all exits and entrances to the building locked until further notice. In an effort to not completely destroy the night, however, Flo has arranged for the Dance-off to carry on as normal.
With the Dance-off only an hour away, and Ricky's killer unknown, many mysteries hang in the air: so just who did commit Murder on the Dancefloor?Once you sign up we'll send you an email to help you choose a character/role!
