**Join us** — Daily from 7 pm till midnight.
**Expected Behavior** — [Conduct](https://strangerchess.com/conduct/)
**Pics** · [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/strangerchess/) / **Chat** · [Telegram](https://t.me/strangerchess) / **Web** · [Strangerchess.com](https://strangerchess.com/)

Blood on the Clocktower at BRLO Brwhaus!! (beginner/intermediate)
Hi folks, this is the special meetup group for the weekly Sunday Blood on the Clocktower games at BRLO Brwhaus near Potsdamer Platz. We run beginner-friendly and intermediate-level games throughout the afternoon and evening. **Friendly newcomers of all skill levels are welcome, no experience required!**
Our group aims to provide a fun and welcoming space to experience this thrilling game of social deception. **We focus on promoting a positive and fun group atmosphere, where players don’t take themselves or the game too seriously, whether they’re heroically winning or spectacularly losing.** Our players follow the code of conduct for the Berlin Board Gamers group and are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration – “killing with grace, and dying with dignity”.
We are usually able to offer two simultaneous games on Sundays. If you are marked as "attending" in Meetup and are in your seat at 15:00, your place is guaranteed for as long as you want to stay. All other seats are first come, first served. We always run at least one beginner-friendly game of the basic version of Clocktower ("Trouble Brewing") throughout the afternoon and evening. We also usually have enough players for a second intermediate-level game. If you are already very familiar with Clocktower, consider also joining our Tuesday meetup for advanced players, when we play with complex custom scripts and characters.
Blood on the Clocktower is a deep, mechanical game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception… think Werewolf on steroids. Each player receives a unique secret role and plays either for the good team – the uninformed majority, gathering info and working with others to solve the puzzle – or the evil team, the informed minority, scheming to eliminate good players and protect their demon from execution. In our beginner games no prior experience is expected and we will gladly explain the game rules to any newcomers.
We play in English so players should be able to understand and express themselves in English: an exception is possible for one pair of players willing to play together (as a “Revolutionary” pair) where one player can interpret into and out of English. Please let us know in advance if this is the case.
We are very grateful to our wonderful hosts at BRLO, and we ask all our players to support the venue by purchasing some food and/or drink during the event.
Let’s Play CATAN - Play, Socialize & Fun
Join our **CATAN** Meetup to play, socialize, and enjoy this classic board game.
Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player. Expect fun, friendly games, plenty of laughter, and the chance to make new friends.
This is a relaxed, casual meetup: **no hardcore competition**, just friendly rivalry.
👉 **Please RSVP only if you plan to attend.**
***
**How to Play (Quick Guide):**
* **Setup:** Build the island with hex tiles, place number tokens, roads, settlements, and give each player starting resources.
* **Turn order:** On your turn, roll two dice to produce resources, then trade and build.
* **Resource production:** Players gain resources (wood, brick, sheep, wheat, ore) from tiles next to their settlements/cities when the tile’s number is rolled.
* **Robber:** If a 7 is rolled, players with too many cards discard half; move the robber to block a tile and steal a card.
*NOTE: Friendly robber rule: We play with the friendly robber rule, which means that the robber cannot be placed on a player with less than 3 points.*
* **Trading:** Trade resources with other players or with the bank (usually 4:1, better with ports).
* **Building:** Spend resources to build roads, settlements, cities, or buy development cards.
* **Victory points:** Earn points from settlements, cities, development cards, Longest Road, and Largest Army.
* **Winning:** The first player to reach 10 victory points on their turn wins.
* 2-Hours-Max: If no one reaches 10 points by the end of the second hour, the player with the most points wins. This keeps our game capped at **two hours**. ⏰️
***
**Our Game Set-Up & Attendance Policy:**
1. We will have two CATAN sets available for up to six players each, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. Since each game takes a considerable amount of time, arriving after a game has already started may make it difficult to place you at a table.
3. In such cases, you may need to place your first two settlements on the remaining available parts of the map—if space allows.
4. Please make sure to update your RSVP in advance. Failure to do so may cause unnecessary delays for everyone at the start.
5. Not showing up without notice will result in being blacklisted for at least one future meetup.

Terrible Fun games– Seated Football & Mat Catch
**The Floor is Lava (Mostly):**
**Game 1: Sitting Football (Sitzfußball) ⚽** We start low... literally. In this game, your butt is your anchor—it must stay on the floor at all times. You’ll be crab-scuttling across the court, trying to kick a ball into the goal while your triceps scream for mercy. It is the most ridiculous workout you’ll ever have.
**Game 2: Weichbodenball (The Mat Catch)** Forget dodgeball; this is much more fun. The "Weichboden" (giant crash mat) is the scoring zone.
**The Goal:** A teammate throws the ball, it must bounce **once** on the ground, and you have to catch it while landing or standing on the big blue mat.
**The Chaos:** The mat is usually in the middle of the action, meaning you’ll be diving, jumping, and scrambling to secure that catch while the other team tries to block the space.
**What to Expect**
**The "Butt-Scurry":** You will realize that moving while sitting is a surprisingly difficult skill.
**Soft Landings:** Expect a lot of diving onto the big mats It’s incredibly satisfying.
**Pure Nostalgia:** It feels exactly like that one gym class where the teacher gave up and let everyone just play.
**Post-Game Recovery:** We’ll head to a nearby spot for drinks/food to celebrate our lack of athletic prowess.
**The Logistics**
**Shoes:** **Clean indoor sports shoes are mandatory** (non-marking). No street shoes allowed in the hall!
**Vibe:** We play for fun. If you’re getting competitive, you’re doing it wrong.
**Level:** Beginners, "un-athletic" people, and curious internationals are all welcome.
**Come be terrible with us—it's way more fun than the gym!** 🤸♂️💥

Let’s play some board games!
Hello folks!
Schöneberg has a new Spielecafé and I’m all for it! Let’s meet for a relaxed afternoon of board games, have some fun and get to know each other.
Please note: I’m aiming for a balance of gender in attendance so that everyone is comfortable. If the attendance list shows an imbalance but there are others on the waiting list, I may take the liberty to move people around.
Note #2: if you don’t cancel at least 3 hours before the event and don’t show up, you will be removed from the group. I don’t want to sit there alone, hope you understand ;-)
See you there soon!

Board Game Night with FANG @ Nocterra Audubon
Join us for another board game night with FANG (Fem All Night Gaming). We are an all fem board gaming group in Columbus, Ohio. We are creating a space for people who identify as fem. No cis-men.
Closer to the event we'll announce any games the admins are brining. We will always bring games, but we encourage everyone to bring any games they enjoy playing! We have a lot of great teachers in our group, so don't worry if you don't know how to play!
2PM START TIME!
We’re meeting at Nocterra Audubon! (Not Powell!). They have great food & beer! It’s inside of the Scioto Park if you’re into a Winter walk between games
Feel free to reach out to either admin if you have any questions!
Board games at The Forge
The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group!
The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play.
Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes.
We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area.
Parking can be challenging. There is a parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.
Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
Open-Table RPG Meetup!
Try new games, meet new people, and find out what story games are all about!

Everybody's welcome! It doesn't matter if you've never tried story games before or never played roleplaying games at all! Just bring your brain and a good attitude and come try it out!
***
**IMPORTANT**
* When you arrive look for the marked Story Games Columbus Tables. Each table will have a separate game. Seating is on a first-come-first-serve basis.
* If all tables are full, look for a Facilitator. We will find a way to get you into a game!
* There is a flat $3 cover charge for events at Tabletop.
***
**Facilitators!!**
Please arrive early so that we can get you set up with a table.
Please reach out to me ASAP if you would be willing to help facilitate. You can reach me on the SGC Discord here -
