DAY OF GAMES

OCG’s regular monthly gaming event takes place every 2nd Saturday of the month, noon – 6pm. We are a novice friendly group that supports teaching games and encouraging interaction with fellow gamers. Our hope is to build an awareness of the hobby and a friendly community of people that love to play board games. Note – the venue stays open until 10pm and you are welcome to continue gaming past 6.

Flat Land Games is an easy expressway drive and is just north of I-96 from the Wixom Exit. The store entrance is tucked away on the south side of the building. Be sure to pull in to the parking lot on the south side. If you have difficulty finding the store, call (248) 773-7854.

GPS Meineke. It is in the same parking lot.

When you arrive, be sure to sign in at the entry table, retrieve your name tag, and log your attendance. There will never be a cover charge or dues assigned for this community. So when you come to our events, we ask anyone who is able for a voluntary donation to help with expenses like monthly site cost, stationary, and building a community game library. This is discretionary. Note - If the main game room is crowded, we may be playing games in the private rooms on the entry side of the building, just past the restrooms.

FOR THOSE NEW TO OCG - If you haven’t played board games in a while, there are so many new options available. OCG has designated Game Coordinators on hand to teach games for the first half of our Meetup starting at noon. Each Game Coordinator will assess the knowledge of their group and decide on a game that would be appropriate.

As a group, OCG has also selected 5 core learning games that provide a good basis of game mechanics you will find in most other games that we play: Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Splendor, Machi Koro, and 7 Wonders. These are all great games to start on if you haven’t heard of them yet. Ask your Game Coordinator about them when you arrive.
