About us
Seattle Board Games supports a vibrant and inclusive community of board game enthusiasts in the Seattle metro area. Our events and gatherings offer opportunities to have fun, make friends, and deepen our appreciation for the art, design, and strategy of board games. We seek to make games more accessible by removing barriers to enjoying and learning from them.
We host all types of boardgames, from lighter games such as Settlers of Catan and Lords of Waterdeep to heavier Euros like Brass Birmingham, Dune Imperium, and others. We also play thematic games such as Battlestar Galactica, social deduction games like Blood on the Clocktower, Magic the Gathering, card games, and party games. If it's on BoardGameGeek's list of over 25,000 games, we might be playing it!
We have a Discord! Connect with hundreds of other local board game fans, set up game sessions, play online, and be the first to know about some events before they're announced on Meetup! This link will lead you there!
Anyone can become an event organizer and host events - either specific games or open gaming sessions. If you are interested, please contact the primary organizer.
We are member and organizer driven, and welcome suggestions for improvements and new directions.

Brass: Birmingham / Age of Industry @ The Missing Piece
The Missing Piece (New), 4707 California Ave, Seattle, WA, USBrass: Birmingham is an economic strategy game about early industrialization in the English midlands. Build canals and railways; create and sell manufactured goods, cotton, and pottery; work iron and mine for coal; and brew beer to slake workers' thirst! Brass is ranked #1 on BoardGameGeek.
Age of Industry USSR is a streamlined variation of Brass and one of our favorite AoI scenarios.
Brass plays up to 4 and Age of Industry to 5. Both are medium-heavy strategy games. What we play will depend partly on the number of participants.
