Boardgames In and Around Portland

Meet in the lobby.

It's time for Thursday night games at the Lucky Labrador Brew Pub. We get started around six, although people trickle in throughout the evening. Many people stay until the pub closes. **People don't always sign up on the site, but lots of people come every Thursday night.** Anyone new who comes please feel free to approach people already playing or looking to begin a game. They'll be happy to tell you a little about what they're doing and how much longer their game will last. We play many board games and card games at these events. Though we tend to focus on family strategy games (Euro games). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German-style_board_game The Lucky Lab serves a wide variety of beers, sandwiches and snacks with many vegetarian options. Hope to see you there!

Come join us at The Portland Game Store! They serve beer, cider, coffee, every Yerba Mate flavor, and there's Mexican, Ethiopian, Thai, and Vietnamese places on the same block. Bring your games, or play with something in the demo games library. We've been getting 30-40 people every week (most don't RSVP) so come check us out for some weekend social gaming! * Gaming starts at 7pm and goes until at least midnight. * Minors are welcome! * There is free parking in the PCC parking lot across the street. * Easily accessible via Killingsworth MAX stop and I-5 exit. * Join us on Facebook!

This Sunday Rick will be hosting a session at Guardian Games. At the get together we will be playing 3 hour (or less) wargames. We will start at Noon when Guardian opens and play until no later than 4:30 PM. Players experienced with wargames are, of course, welcome but so are players who have thought about wargames but not yet become wargame players. Wargames can be off-putting because of their reputation for long playing time and high complexity. There have always been interesting short and approachable wargames but in recent years publishers have been producing more of these than ever. In recent weeks we have played Commands and Colors: Ancients, Table Battles, 1775: Revolution, Memoir '44, Fort Sumpter, 13 Days, Wild Blue Yonder, 878: Vikings, Maneouvre and others. Spread the word if you will and join us Sunday at Noon.
