Learn about new games, play games, meet new friends, and have a good time!

**About the Event** An event for the Maryland folks! So much parking!!!!! The Maryland Expansion Pack is a board game/tabletop gaming event for both experienced and casual gamers. Be prepared to meet new people and try new games. **About the Games** This series will focus two types of games -- A hosted "meaty game" for players looking for a more in-depth experience, and a collection of social games. The hosted game is intended for experienced tabletop fans. These games will include titles with rulesets that are a bit more complex, take a bit more time, and are often strategic and competitive. (space may be limited) The Social Games are easy to learn, and play!!! DCGG will curate the games and provide trained game hosts to help get games going quickly and make sure all players are supported as they learn and engage with the games. **AND THE MOST IMPORTANT BIT!!! ITS TACO TUESDAY!!!!!!!** **What if we don't have enough players?** Through the power of teamwork and friendship, we will find a way for everyone to play and have a good time. **Please arrive on time if possible.** **BUT WAIT THERES MORE:** If you are interested in becoming a Supporting Member and enjoying perks like: * **Early RSVP Access:** Supporting Members will get early access to RSVPing to regular events. * **Town Hall meeting:** Supporting Members will be invited to participate in town halls and polls that will help determine how revenue past operating costs is directed. * **Discounted Ticket:** In the event that DCGG hosts paid ticketed events in the future, Supporting Members will be offered discounted prices. * The knowledge that you make all this possible!

Weekly Draft night in NW. We currently meet up at Franklin Hall near 14th and Florida. U Street Metro is the closest stop. I'll have packs but feel free to bring packs if you have them. Entry is $17 (you can bring Play Booster packs to lower the cost by $3.50). If it is a special set, it will be more.

Do you remember the days when board and card games were only played – or even discussed – in the shadows? Did you wander dark alleys to meet shady purveyors of meeples, dice, and pawns? Thanks to AARGGH, games have become acceptable in all sectors of society, even in that bastion of culture, the public library. Enjoy the freedom to play the games of your choice without suffering public derision (well, maybe a little from players who defeat you) at our Grand Gaming Melee! There’ll be board games, dice games, card games, tile games, and just about every other kind of game that can be played on a tabletop. You’re encouraged to bring some of your favorites and teach them to new players, but feel free to come without any and play the games others bring. If you see one you’d like to try, there’ll be someone eager to teach you. And enjoy your day of socially acceptable games with sociallyacceptable snacks! Please bring something delicious to share: items that are likely to drip, smear, or splatter onto the games are discouraged, and mysterious products procured from shady figures in dark alleys will be probably be given a wide berth by your fellow players. Otherwise, anything easily and neatly consumed at the gaming tables is welcome. Popular delicious items include bags of chips, pretzels, crackers, and cookies. Some people bring a package of doughnuts or cupcakes; these are always popular and disappear quickly. Savory snacks like olives, vegetables with dip, or cheese appeal to players who don’t want to spend the entire day snacking on sweets. A few creative types may even bring something homemade; these contributions are even more appreciated. A refrigerator is available to store drinks and other items that should be kept chilled. Official start time is 10:30am. You can come and go at any time, but your host appreciates anyone who arrives as early as 10:00am (the library’s opening time) to help with setup. Many hands make light work! Cleanup begins around 4:00pm (or whenever you decide that you can’t squeeze in one more game before the end of the event). Remember, whoever starts cleanup first gets the best choice of leftover snacks to take home! As always, leave the room clean and tidy. **Please observe these rules regarding cleanup at Beatley library:** * Please ensure that food scraps, crumbs, and bits of packaging are not strewn in the kitchen or auditorium. The library closes shortly after our event ends, so anything edible left on the floor or counters will attract vermin overnight. Night vermin are the worst! * Please fold most of the tables and stack them under the coat rack – a few may remain where they were used – but **DO NOT FOLD THE CHAIRS**. Leave them out in any configuration that lets people walk around them easily. Many chairs are needed for programs the following day, so by folding them you only make more work for the organizers. On the other hand, more than a few tables left standing only impede the next day’s activities.

**Dust off those old classics in your binders and experience Yu-Gi-Oh! as it never was.** **Cookie-cutter deck lists, begone! Constant board wipes, begone! Tier-1 tyranny, begone! Get ready for the format you never knew you needed. If you’ve been utterly overwhelmed by the speed of the modern metagame, rejoice! If you’ve long suppressed the itch to bamboozle your buddies with obscure Traps none of them have heard of, your time has finally come! If you’ve always wondered what a format with 100 viable decks looked like, then prepared to be amazed, utterly.** **The AINW card pool contains every release originally printed before the TCG set, Duelist Alliance. Please note, this is not a true Retro format. We’ll be using updated card text for many cards formerly on Konami's Forbidden & Limited List. The inclusion of newer errata is not meant to tarnish the legacy of certain cards. Their inclusion is meant to maximize the number of viable options whilst preventing dangerous sequences such as Divine Wind FTK.** **Click the link to view the rules and restrictions below:** **[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sW3SkG5XNor-W-gRvwuvCWwuWeMelt-KkwpHYpOOwO4/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sW3SkG5XNor-W-gRvwuvCWwuWeMelt-KkwpHYpOOwO4/edit?usp=sharing)** **Many of these parameters you’ll likely find surprising, sacrilegious even. Just keep an open mind and give my format a try. I think you’ll be surprised by the sheer number of strategies that are actually viable. I didn’t set out to create a list that was perfect. But, I do believe I have succeeded in crafting one that is actually CONSISENT in what it bans, something that Konami's Forbidden & Limited list has never been.**

**FOR BEGINNERS** If you've ever seen Korean movies or shows, you may have seen characters play with small red cards decorated with flowers and animals. Those cards are called "hwatu" or flower cards. The most popular game played with hwatu is "Go-Stop". Come to this next Hwatu Hangout (Wisteria Edition!), and learn how to play Go-Stop. It can take some time to orient yourself with the cards and rules, but once you do, there's no turning back. It's major fun. **FOR EXPERIENCED PLAYERS** No Tazza-style deck rigging and, most importantly, *no gambling*. We will play with plastic chips to raise the faux stakes, but that's it! If you'd like to skip the lesson/demo, then please arrive at 2p for game play. \*\*\* **ETIQUETTE** Please update your RSVP at least 48 hours before the event to ensure that those on the waitlist have a chance to come. It's the nice thing to do! **FOR REGULARS** Thanks for coming back! Please email/DM me if you are planning to come. No need to sign up on meetup\~ \*\*\* **THE PLAN** • **1:00p - 1:10p**: Introductions • **1:10p - 2:00p**: Learn how to play & demo game • **2:00p - 3:30p**: Game play • **3:30p - 4:00p:** Socialize **THE LOCATION** **The Board Room DC** \| Game Bar & Brewery 1737 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20009 **Parking:** Street parking **Public Transportation:** Dupont Circle (Red line); 5 minute walk to the Board Room \*\*\* **Questions?** Send an email to hwatuhangout (at) gmail (dot) com. Hope to see you there! Eunice

Casual Pokemon TCG play! Proxy friendly.

I've tweaked the Strixhaven cube and am slowly replacing the SOS proxies with real cards! Fortified with Avatar lessons, I'm calling the format "Aang Goes to College." See the list and practice draft here: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/strixavatar?display=spoiler NOTE: Pest tokens have been errata'd to have BOTH the new "Whenever this token attacks, you gain 1 life" text and the "When this token dies, you gain 1 life" text. You're welcome, Witherbloom players! **CONDUCT POLICY** We cultivate a safe, friendly atmosphere. Derogatory comments of any kind are unacceptable, as is behavior that may make others uncomfortable, such as rage-quitting. Thank you! **TARDINESS POLICY** If you're more than 10 minutes late, I'll enlist my wife to draft for you until your arrival. If she's unavailable, we'll make random, blind picks for you.

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play. Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area. Parking can be challenging. There is a parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.

Dodgeball is back again! If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. We’ll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed. We use a specific set of rules and equipment to make the games run better and keep them fun for everybody, not just people who already know how to play. If it rains, the event will be canceled.
