What we’re about
Meet gamers from all over town! Come to one of our events to discover new games or play old favorites with new friends. We play all kinds.
This Meetup group is home to multiple event organizers. Each event host, better yet each TEAM of hosts (the best way!), is in charge of the events they post here.
Want to start up an ongoing event/game night, or run a special event? Either post your thoughts in the Discussion space for Portland Area Board Games and RPGs, or contact one of the Organizers/Co-Organizers on the Leadership/Organizers list (see full website/desktop view, not mobile -- also gives you access to a calandar view of events and a page of all event photo albums). Enjoy all your play!

- Portland Veggie Board Gamers (with Portland Metro Veggies!)Mox Boarding House, Portland , OR
This event is co-organized with Portland Metro Veggies, Portland's largest meetup group for vegan, vegetarian, and veg-curious folks.
Veggie board gamers come together to play games and make friends. (We also enjoy just chatting, and recommending restaurants to each other.) Come learn new games and meet new people, every Monday. This event is also listed in the Portland Metro Veggies group, and most people RSVP there, but you can RSVP to either one.
The menu at Mox Boarding House includes several vegan and vegetarian options.
Non-veg gamers are welcome also, but keep in mind that the goal of this meetup is to have a majority-vegan/vegetarian event for our game night community, and to drive demand for vegan/vegetarian options at Mox. Please order vegan/vegetarian.
GAMES
Bring a game if you can!
We tend to play party games and other light games, but strategy games and other medium-weight games are welcome too. I always bring a variety of games. Mox also has a free library of games available to borrow for the night.Past plays include games like Codenames, Forbidden Island, Ticket to Ride, Camel Up, Just One, Dixit, Deep Sea Adventure, Chameleon, Splendor, and Azul.
LOGISTICS
Mox does not sponsor this event or this group, so their staff don't know anything about it. Please join us any time throughout the evening. If you arrive near the start time, find Evan in the lobby with a bag of games, and check the comments for possible updates.Mox requires that half the group be present before we can be seated in the restaurant area, so I'll wait for a few folks to show up before we get a table. Once we have a table, I will leave a comment below and do my best to indicate where we are seated in the restaurant area. If you arrive late and can't find us, send me a chat message through Meetup or comment on the page, and I will do my best to respond.
Please keep your RSVP (going/ not going) up to date. This event is also posted under Portland Metro Veggies as "Vegan Board Game Night". You can RSVP for either or both events.
Happy Gaming!
