What we’re about
We are a vibrant social community that celebrates the remarkable creations of independent board game designers and publishers through engaging social events 🎉
Our mission is to help people live happier lives by disconnecting from their phones and reconnecting with themselves and with others 🥰
We partner with small businesses within local communities to give back as much as we can 😚
All proceeds from our ticket sales are used to help create more ongoing events for our community members 😍
We have been running events since February 2025 and are expanding our reach across the GTA with ongoing outreach to restaurants and indie publishers and designers around the world. When you attend our events you agree that you have read and accepted our Code Of Conduct which is put in place to ensure everyone's safety.
If you are new, have a question, want to chat, have ideas for events, or anything else you can book a 1:1 chat with Dev.
Dev is super open to any feedback and is always happy to meet new people. He prefers to connect with members through video rather than text as it is more personal.

See all- Indie Game Night (Ages 19+)Thong Lor Thai Grilled Bar, Toronto, ONCA$10.00
Monopoly and Scrabble are so boring. We created our 8 player Indie Game Night to introduce everyone to indie games from all around the world. This entire event is facilitated by a host who brings every game, teaches every game, facilitates a chill social hour, books restaurant reservations, and does all the rest of the heavy lifting.
No more reading rule books or spending hours trying to learn a new game at a board game café. Your host works alongside you to gently guide you through all aspects of every game. Plus we partner with small unique independent restaurants so you aren’t just sitting around in another board game café (we’re all about supporting small businesses).
We encourage you to come as your authentic self. We are LGBTQ+ friendly, neurodivergent friendly, English as a second language friendly, traveler friendly, and more.
It’s time to be accepted for who you truly are, come join the I’m So Board family.
