Ravenswood Board Game Meetup - 2nd Thursdays

Details

Join the Ravenswood Neighbors Association on the 2nd Thursday of every month for our Ravenswood Board Game Meetup! Bring your own games or play one of ours. We play a wide range of tabletop games, from strategy to party games, one-shots, beginner to advanced, lightweight to heavyweight games, in small to large groups. We are a friendly community, and there is always someone willing to do teach-and-plays. Some of the games in our collection include Carcassonne, Dixit, Tsuro, Forbidden Island, Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Catan, Splendor, and many more!

Time: 6:30pm-10pm every 2nd Thursday of the month
Location: 1900 W. Leland Avenue, Chicago, IL 60640 (Chicago Northside Church of the Nazarene, basement level)
Cost: FREE!
Getting There/Parking: It's a short walk from the Damen Brown Line stop and the Ravenswood UP-N Metra station. Our event host is opening their small parking lot for us to use for the event – there will be a limited number of free spots in this lot (east of the main entrance on Leland), as well as free parking on the 1900 block of W. Leland, as well as N. Ravenswood Avenue. Please check all blocks for parking signage (some are permit only).
Concessions/Food: A small selection of water, soda, and snacks will be available for purchase. Proceeds are split with our event hosts (who are providing gaming space for free – please support them). You may bring food (no alcohol at this location).
RSVPs: We will cap attendance at 40 people. If you have registered and can’t attend, please release your spot so someone else can join us. Hope to see you there!

Recommended for ages 17+. Stay tuned for info on our new Family Game Day - for all ages - details coming soon!
