FARMINGTON DAY OF GAMES

OCG is bringing our DAY OF GAMES to the Farmington Community Library.

This initial event will be a meet and greet to play games and to plan. We are looking for local volunteers willing to help manage events and teach games to new members. OCG prides itself on being a novice friendly group that supports teaching games and encouraging interaction with fellow gamers. Our goal is to build an awareness of the hobby and a friendly community of people that love to play board games.

The downtown Farmington branch of the library is just off of Grand River Avenue and Farmington Road, behind the Police Station. Our event will be hosted in meeting area on the basement level of the library. Please take the stairs or the elevator down to find us. If you have difficulty finding the library, call (248) 553-0300.

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.

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.
