About us
If you love playing board games but the online experience at Board Game Arena, Yucata, and BrettspielWelt isn’t enough, then come out and join us at one of our many events.
We are a group of avid board gamers, many of whom have an extensive library of games, who love to teach and play everything from the oldies (well, Settlers of Catan, not Nine Men's Morris) to the latest hits. In fact, if you have a game you want to learn, just say so in the event page and there will likely be someone willing to teach it
There will be events all over the northern Queens area (from Long Island City to Bay Terrace to Kew Gardens) that will be chosen to be as accommodating as possible to both drivers and users of public transit.
Bring your favorite games and share your passions, or just bring your enthusiasm and courtesy for your fellow players and the venues that we use. Let’s game our days and nights away!

Friday Gaming at The Clubhouse (Spring Rock Golf Center - New Hyde Park TESTING)
The Clubhouse, 377 Denton Ave, New Hyde Park, NY 11040, USA, New Hyde Park, NY, USWelcome to the Queens Board Games meetup group. This group is for those who live in Queens County along with surrounding sections of the New York metro area who are interested in board gaming.
Note: Currently, there are multiple sections within this group which meet at various venues. Please be sure to RSVP for the correct section.
VENUE AND TIME ALLOTTED
This section is part of a TESTING PHASE and will take place at The Clubhouse (for the time being) once a month on a Friday from 5 to 11 PM (Please note: this section is SEPARATE and IN ADDITION to the one that meets on Sundays at the same venue).
The Clubhouse is a bar and grill located on the premises of the Spring Rock Golf Center located at 377 Denton Ave. in New Hyde Park, Nassau County (near where Denton, Marcus, and Hillside Avenues converge).
For those who drive, there is ample parking. For those commuting by bus, the N22 bus line stops nearby.

PROTOCOL
This venue is a place of business willing to accommodate our group. There is no minimum amount to be spent, however please provide patronage and refrain from bringing outside food and drink.
WHAT TO EXPECT
If you're looking for a fun and friendly group of people to play a variety of games with, join us for a Friday meetup at The Clubhouse.
Newcomers are always welcome! Growing up, most of us played children's games (ex: Candyland, Sorry, Connect Four) and classic games (ex: Checkers, Chess, Scrabble, Monopoly). Gaming has truly evolved since then, with an increase in volume of games/categories created along with an increase in complexity and sophistication of rules and strategies. These "modern games" involve a whole other world that you may never heard of, however there will be others who will bring these games and teach you (see list below - you can also go to YouTube to preview and familiarize yourself).
Examples of games played
Gateway games - Rummy Cube, Splendor, Qwirkle, Century Spice Road
Card games – Five Crowns, SKYJO, Phase 10, The Game, Parade, Port Royal, The Gang
Word games - So Clover, Blank Slate, Just One, Sides, One Round, Jibber Jabble, Letter Jam
Introductory strategy games - Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne
Lighter strategy games - Stone Age, Istanbul, Concordia, Rajas of the Ganges
Heavier strategy games – Orleans, The Castles of Burgundy, Terraforming Mars
Bringing your own games is not mandatory, however if you possess any, feel free to bring them as there are always people looking to learn something new or to find a new favorite board game.
Also, please feel free to post in the Comments section regarding which games are being brought and would like to be played.
