What we’re about
The Gleeful Meeple are a group of social people who want to meet new friends and play games with them. New to board games? No problem. We're happy to teach. Our events can and may pop up just about anywhere (primarily local breweries, cool huh?) Our most popular events are board gaming events, where all attendees are welcome to bring their favorite games to play with us and our hosts will bring a bag of their own for you to enjoy as well. We may be board game group, but we’re so much more. We host tabletop RPG events, trivia nights, escape games, kickball, disc golf, and always looking for new ways to play.
All ages are welcome and encouraged, families included.

It’s Gleeful Meeple's 2nd Annual Memorial Day Picnic! This event is completely open to the public – a great opportunity to enjoy some outdoor fun and games with family and friends new and old.
We’ve reserved the Mission Shelter right on the lake in the middle of Shelby Park with lots of space for all the games and food! It's the Mission Picnic Pavilion in Shelby Park, near the southwest end of Sevier Lake.

Attendees are encouraged to bring any outdoor games or indoor games that could survive outdoors (consider the wind!) plus any food/picnic item to contribute to the noms. **Sign ups coming soon**
Other things you may consider bringing along include: outdoor chairs, water, sunscreen, bug spray, extra water, and; if you have one to spare... card tables!
Limited Parking is available right by the shelter but feel encouraged to drop off anything before finding additional parking nearby.
We can't wait to see you there!
