What we’re about

Game night feels like a lost art!

I grew up in a family who bonded, laughed, strategized, competed and sometimes called names around the table playing games! It drew us all so close and created so many memories! The tradition carries on today with our children even though we are all a little more spread out geographically.

Board Silly welcomes men and women 21+ who need a night to escape the routine days of working from home (or the dysfunctional office) or who need a perfect excuse to let the kids eat cereal for dinner because you aren’t cookin’!

You can expect camaraderie and laughs amongst this accepting, kind, respectful and competitive group .

Events will be held at local establishments, including wineries, breweries, parks, and restaurants that are appropriate for playing games.

New Members Welcome! Stop being Board Silly!

Rules of Engagement:

  • You must be 21+ to play.
  • Be Kind & Respectful -Treat everyone with kindness, even if you’re losing at Monopoly! We’re all here to have fun.
  • No Hate, No Harassment - This is an inclusive group. This is a zero tolerance zone for racism, sexism, homophobia, or any form of discrimination.
  • Keep conversation during game play to a minimum. This is a board game group and although conversation is encouraged and fun, let's not hold up others play with excessive chit chat!
  • Keep It Light - Avoid heavy or divisive topics (like politics or religion) during the event so everyone feels comfortable and included.
  • This is an inclusive space. No one here is cooler than you —whether you’re a veteran gamer or brand new, everyone is welcome at the table. Please NO shaming gaming styles!
  • Don't be a sore loser or winner. There is going to be a winner and a loser and cheaters never prosper!
