Monday social board-game evening
Details
Just come as you are, sit down with the group, play a board game or just chat, and meet other nice attendees. This is a social event first and foremost.
WHAT HAPPENS
We'll split into smaller tables depending on what people want to play, how long the games take, and the general mood of the evening.
The venue provides games for us, and they already have a good selection. If there is enough interest in specific new games or expansions, the venue may also consider getting them for future events. You're still very welcome to bring a board game or card game you like, so we have more to choose from.
No experience is needed. We explain the rules as we go. I will also try my best to understand them myself first, then explain them, haha.
WHO'S WELCOME
Locals, newcomers, internationals, and anyone who likes games, wants to meet people in Oslo, or just wants a relaxed evening with others.
We'll likely speak a mix of English and Norwegian.
WHEN AND WHERE
Every Monday, 18:00–22:00, at No Stress at Strøget, Torggata 11, 0181 Oslo. Near Café Sør, in the alley with the letters "Strøget" above it.
You can arrive whenever you want during the evening and leave whenever suits you. There is no need to be there at the start or stay until the end. We keep a shorter game or an open seat available so people can join later.
We have our own space at the venue. When you enter No Stress, go to the left, then look for the area on the left side of the room with curtains. There is no sign up yet, so just head for the curtain area, and if you are unsure, ask the bar where the board-game meetup is.
WHAT TO BRING
Nothing required.
Optional:
- a board game or card game you like
- money/card for your own drinks or snacks
- an open mood and willingness to include people
- patience, not everyone is a board game genius like some of you probably are
WHAT IT COSTS
This event is free. Everyone covers their own tab at the venue, such as drinks or snacks.
There is usually a discount on drinks and similar from the venue during the event, so ask at the bar.
ONE THING THAT HELPS US A LOT
When you buy something at the bar, say you're from Room for More.
That's it. It takes two seconds, and it's how the venue can see what we actually bring them. We're working something out with No Stress at the moment, and everything we build with them from here rests on those numbers.
SOMETHING TO BE AWARE OF
The minimum age follows the venue's rules.
RSVP
Please keep your RSVP accurate so I can plan the table size and avoid taking too much or too little space. We have a dedicated space, which makes things easier, but accurate RSVPs still help a lot with planning.
The event has its own page on the website, where you can read everything and RSVP right on the page:
