What we’re about
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.

Why play at Empire when free events are available?
Experience: Our Storytellers have been running Blood on the Clocktower events several times a month for over a year!
Community: Our Storytellers are great at running games, sure, but they have also cultivated a welcoming and respectful player community. New and returning players are both welcome and encouraged - and respect, well, the people who play at Empire respect not only one another's preferred pronouns and personal beliefs - but also everyone's time. Flakes are a rarity, and we are usually notified in advance so that necessary adjustments can be made. You won't experience delays in the game due to half-committed people wandering around - we're here to play!
- Storytelling Games with Tres - VANTAGEEmpire Board Game Library, Albuquerque, NM
Join us each and every Thursday in October for some Storytelling Games!
Come be a part of these collaborative storytelling experiences led by our resident Stroyteller, Tres, who will guide you through these games to ensure that the best time is had by all!
Tickets include playtime for all night AND any drink from the menu!This Thursday is Stonemaier's latest offering: VANTAGE
Vantage is an open-world, co-operative, non-campaign adventure game that features an entire planet to explore, with players communicating while scattered across the world. With nearly eight hundred interconnected locations on four hundred cards and over nine hundred other discoverable cards, the world is your sandbox.
You begin each game of Vantage on an intergalactic vessel heading towards an uncharted planet. After crashing far from your companions, you have complete freedom as to how you explore, discover, and interact with the planet. You view your location from a first-person perspective, and you can communicate with and support other players, but you are separated by vast distances, so only you can see your current location.
In addition to a mission victory, a destiny victory, or an epic victory (completing both the mission and a destiny), you may define success in Vantage through anything you pursue and achieve.https://empireboardgamelibrary.com/store/Legendary-Story-Games-Night-p782837609
