🎖️ NATIONAL GUARD BIRTHDAY NIGHT — DEFEND YOUR TITLE IN BOARD GAME BATTLES!

📅 Saturday, December 13, 2025
💵 Reminder: To help cover Meet-Up costs, we kindly ask for a $1 contribution per person each Game Night.
✨ First-time visitors are always free, and you can ask about prepaying for multiple months at a discounted rate if you'd like to save a little and support the group long-term.
Come hang out with us for a relaxed evening full of fun, laughter, and board games!
In honor of the National Guard’s Birthday, we’re showing appreciation for those who serve — and having some good old-fashioned fun as civilians. Whether you come to compete, laugh, or just escape holiday stress for a few hours, this night is for you.
🪖 Joke of the Day:
Why don't board games ever join the military?
Because they already have too many pieces in action! 😄
We’re continuing to build something special here in the Tampa area. With nearly a full year of Game Nights behind us, it’s been great getting to know so many of you and watching the group grow. Whether you've come once or many times, this community has shaped into something welcoming, friendly, and full of good times.
📍 LOCATION
Game Night will be held again at the front room of Winners Sports Grill
5229 Ehrlich Rd, Tampa, FL – in the shopping center at Hutchison & Ehrlich, next to/behind the dry cleaners.
❗ Please do NOT follow the outdated Meet-Up map location for Winners Grill on Gunn Hwy — they moved years ago, and Meet-Up has been slow to fix it.
🕔 SCHEDULE
We’ll be arriving a little before dinner, with dining planned from about 4:45 PM to around 6:00 PM, or whenever everyone finishes eating.
🎲 Game playing begins after dinner and usually goes until around 9:00–10:00 PM, when the restaurant closes.
You're welcome to come early, late, or leave whenever you need — it’s totally flexible.
🎲 ABOUT OUR GAME NIGHTS
We’re not a D&D or heavy strategy group. We stick to fun, easygoing games. Past nights have included:
Uno, Yahtzee, 3Up/3Down, trivia-style games, Sorry, Rummikub, Ticket to Ride, Sequence, Apples to Apples, Exploding Kittens, and more!
Feel free to bring a game you love (ideally one that works with 3+ players)!
✅ PLEASE RSVP ON MEET-UP
We need a rough headcount to give the restaurant — so please RSVP, and cancel your RSVP if your plans change.
If you have trouble RSVP’ing — or RSVP and then can’t make it — please update your RSVP and/or call me at 833-548-9998
(NOTE: This number is toll-free and not an 813 number, but also only accepts voicemail, no texts).
⚠️ Seating is limited to around 30 people.
🍽 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR HOST VENUE
The restaurant kindly lets us use the front room at no cost, so please consider ordering food and/or drinks while you're there — and don’t forget to tip your server(s).
The service has been great, but they’re still adjusting to us, so let’s be patient if anything comes up.
🧥 If you tend to get chilly, bring a sweater. If we get a big crowd, it might warm up — we do bring a small fan just in case.
💬 As always, we ask everyone to avoid political topics so the vibe stays welcoming and comfortable for all.
💵 Game Night Contribution Reminder
We ask for a small contribution of $1 per person per night to support the cost of running this group.
✨ First-time visitors are always free.
💬 Want to make things easier and save a bit? Ask about prepaying for multiple months at a discounted rate.
🎉 Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, December 13th at Winners Sports Grill!
