Southwest Metro Card and Board Games Meetup Group

We will be playing board games at a brewery. I will bring some of my own games but feel free to bring anything you would like to play. We normally do a teach before playing any game so don't worry if you're not familiar with any specific game.

This event is at Mana Brewing in Shakopee from 6pm to 10pm(ish).

I will bring name tags (and sharpies).

For those of you who have never attended one of our events, we usually start with some quick(ish) games while we wait for everyone to arrive. Then we split into groups of 3-5 people to play the more time intensive games.
There is zero expectation to know how to play these games before-hand. Anyone bringing games should expect to teach others how to play.
I'll have a selection of games and usually other attendees will bring selections from their collections too. If you have a favorite game you would like to introduce us to please bring it!

This is an ongoing Saturday board gaming meetup, meeting the first and third Saturday of each month at The Forge in Chaska.

Whether you are experienced with the hobby, or just discovering modern hobby board gaming, we would love to game with you and have fun together in an inclusive and friendly atmosphere. The store has a gaming library for people to use for free, and many attendees bring games to teach and play with others. Don’t feel pressured having to bring games, but the more the merrier!! Also, if you do bring games, please be prepared and practiced to teach them to others.

The Forge is an AMAZING game store and they own and operate a bistro and will deliver food from the next door location. https://www.thebellowsbistro.com/

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, and please RSVP as early as you can, so I can keep The Forge aware to ensure we have gaming space.

Hello Everyone,
For those of you who have never attended one of our events we usually start with some quick card games while we wait for everyone to arrive. Then we split into 2-3 groups of 4-5 people to play the more time intensive games.

I have a tub of games with a mix of modern board games. Usually other members will bring their collections as well. If you have a favorite game you would like to introduce us to feel free to bring it along.

This event is at Mugshots Coffee Company in West Bloomington on France Ave just north of the intersection with Old Shakopee Road.

Along with their skillfully crafted beverages Mugshots offers an assortment cold sandwiches.
