À propos de nous

MDGN is a free and open group dedicated to bringing people together to play / learn games, have fun, and make friends. We have monthly board game nights on Saturdays from 7pm-2am in Sterling Heights, as well as many special gaming and social events all around Metro Detroit. From the simplest party games to the most complex strategy games all types of tabletop are represented.

You don't need to own or know how to play anything to attend our events because we have hundreds of games we can teach you. That being said, you're always welcome to bring your own games too. You also don't need (but are always welcome) to bring anyone with you because we can introduce individuals, couples, and groups to play together in a safe, chill environment. Ask around for our founder Rob (Big O) if you ever need any help.

In addition to our monthly board game nights past events have included (biannual) video game nights, laser tag, bowling, escape rooms, disc golf, trivia, karaoke, paint and sip, movies, and more. We also host several annual events like an adult Easter egg hunt, summer BBQ, growler party, Halloween party, Thanksgiving potluck, Christmas party, (biennial) New Year's Eve party, camping trip, pub crawl, beer olympics, and attend others like anime / gaming / comic conventions, renaissance festivals, Detroit Zoo event(s), and beer festivals.

Our group is currently based in Sterling Heights / Clinton Township but we have members and events all over the Metro Detroit area including Warren, Roseville, St. Clair Shores, Eastpointe, Grosse Pointe Woods, Shelby Township, Fraser, Hazel Park, Madison Heights, Harper Woods, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Southfield, Harrison Township, Troy, Berkley, Rochester Hills, Oak Park, Clawson, Grosse Pointe Park, Detroit, and more.

Disc Golf
31 mai 2026 14:00 EDT
Firefighters Park, 1800 W. Square Lake Road, Troy, MI, US
Not to be confused with Golf, Disc Golf is played by throwing a disc (Frisbee style-ish, but smaller and denser) into a basket using the fewest number of throws possible. The baskets are placed throughout the park as separate "holes". A full 18 hole course can be played in about 2-3 hours, depending on the size of our group. The course is free to play and the only requirement to play is a disc which can be had for around $12 ($25 for a set of three) online, at Meijer, or wherever sporting goods are sold. Our group is very beginner friendly so don't feel that you have to now what you're doing! The park also includes soccer fields, playground, baseball field, sand volleyball courts, a picnic shelter, and shore fishing if you want to hang around after.

We will meet in the parking lot that is furthest back from the entrance. Look for a large white 6'5" Polish-American man with dark hair wearing a blue name tag that says "Big O".
