Cooperative Games San Francisco

Root @ SF @ Saluhall

Join us for a game of Root, a woodland game of war and politics! Play as one of 13 unique factions, from the industrial Marquise de Cat to the lone Vagabond, as you fight other players for control of the woodland. We have all major expansions and decks. Come try out the Homeland expansion if you haven’t already! This will be our first event at Saluhall, so just join the discord and ping SSSS when you’re here! https://discord.gg/NZYjSF88 Beginners welcome! I will be here from ~12pm, ping me (SSSS) on discord and we can take some time to go over the rules beforehand.

Game Night

**Join us for Game Night at the Flying Pig Pub and Bistro at 7 pm on the second Monday of each month.** We'll start out with an ice breaker game and then take it from there. Bring any games you’d like to play—ideally group games that are easy to learn and not too long. Please consider purchasing food and/or drink at the Flying Pig for use of their space. They have a robust [menu](https://flyingpigbistropub.com/eat)! We look forward to meeting you!

Play Go and Socialize

The SF Go Club is the best place to play Go in the SF Bay Area and the oldest Go club in North America. Started in the 1880s by Japanese sailors looking to play Go, it established itself as an official club in 1935 and incorporated as a non-profit in 1984. The club has a rich community of members and a wonderful club-room filled with equipment, both for playing and teaching. It’s a great place to meet interesting people and share this exciting game with them in person. We are a non-profit social club for teaching and playing the game of Go together. Never played before? We are happy to show you! https://sfgoclub.com
