Details

Every two weeks, we meet at 7:00 PM for an free, open board game night. When you arrive, just grab a seat + food and come find us (in the back, past the bar). This is a friendly, teach-as-we-go group with a solid mix of experienced and new board gamers. You're welcome to bring your own games or just yourself.

Most games that are played at these events are light-to-medium weight and finish in 90 minutes or less, giving folks the opportunity to play multiple games in an evening. (Heavier 2+ hour games do sometimes make it to the table as well, though, so feel free to bring them!) More involved games tend to be played earlier in the evening, and games later on tend to be on the lighter side. The mix of board game genres on hand changes every week and spans strategy, abstract, co-op, limited communication, party games, and more.

A typical event:

  • 7:05 PM: introductions, going around the room and giving each attendee an opportunity to introduce themselves and pitch any games they brought and would like to play.
  • 7:10 PM: we set up for the titles with the most interest and get rolling.
  • Late arrivals: It’s a bit trickier once games are underway, but we often have tables that can add players mid-game. If none are available, we’ll queue you for the second round of games.

Please feel free to reach out to the organizers with any questions you have regarding event details. Hope you to see you here!
