The Austin Settlers of Catan Meetup

Okay, folks, it's the third Saturday and we have reserved more than four hours of board gaming! So bring your friends and let's dig in. Your host has plenty of games (we'll always have Catan, but also everything from Azul to ... darn, I don't have a Z game, but how about Wingspan?). You're welcome to bring your own game(s) as well. Can you teach? Great! Play an old favorite, learn a new one.

NEWBIES WELCOME—we will be happy to teach you to play. We are a safe, friendly, inclusive, and diverse group.

We’ll meet at the Milwood branch of the Austin Public Library, in northwest Austin, at 12500 Amherst Dr, off Parmer/MoPac. There's plenty of free parking, including four spots for EV charging at the west end of the lot.

We'll start at 12:30 and play till the library closes (well, actually till 4:45). This should give us time for two mid-length games, three shorter ones, or one challenging brain-burner per table. With up to eight tables at our disposal, that means... a lot of board gaming. See you there!

P.S. Please, no food at the game tables—so be sure to grab a bite before you arrive. Beverages in spill-proof containers are okay.

Board Game Summer is over, but the games continue. Come join us for 4 hours of board gaming, starting at 12:30 at North Village (now John Gillum) library in Central Northwest Austin!

We are a friendly and inclusive group—everyone welcome! NEWBIES WELCOME--we will be happy to teach you to play.

A 12:30 start time for this meetup means we'll have plenty of time to play at least two games each. We might even get in three if we start on time. It also means that we can have a table or two with heavier, more complex games that run long.

See the Comments section below for games I can bring--our members have also brought games like Earth, Mysterium, Ark Nova, Harmonies, Cascadia, Finspan, Camel Up, and Isle of Skye. Please comment in this event with any games you'd like to try!

We will meet at the North Village (now John Gillum) branch of the Austin Public Library, in NW Austin just off Steck and Burnet. Plenty of free parking. Walk in and look on the right-hand side, before the circulation desk, for the meeting room. We'll start at 12:30pm and play till the library closes (hard stop at 4:45). See you there!

PS: If you can't make it at 12:30, try showing up around 2ish, when the fastest gamers will be done with their first one and ready to start a second round.

Okay, folks, it's the third Saturday and we have reserved 4+ hours of board gaming at Milwood. Just for fun, this meet will have a theme: "Location, location, location"--bring and play boardgames that feature a city, region, or country. There are tons of choices--just in my own collection, there's Lisboa, The Castles of Burgundy, Chicago Express, Yokohama, Jaipur, Maracaibo, Tokaido, Iberian Gauge, and of course Catan, Spirit Island, and Everdell (imaginary locations count). I'm sure y'all have many more--Brass: Birmingham, King of Tokyo, Troyes, Lords of Vegas, Carcassonne, ...? Following the theme is optional, but I thought it might be fun.

P.S. Please, no food at the game tables—modern board games are expensive—so be sure to grab a bite before you arrive. Beverages in spill-proof containers are okay.

John Gillum branch was booked this month, so we're headed to Tarrytown. Come join us for 4 hours of board gaming, starting at 12:30 at Howson library in Central Austin!
