Board Game Night @ Board Room in Clarendon, Wed, 6:30-10:00
**NEW GAME LOCATION at The Board Room**
Let's play board games. Not the ones your ancestors played but the really cool ones of the new millennium. We play everything from fun, social games to light to heavy strategy games.
Don't know how to play? Not a problem - we're happy to teach. It's a great chance to learn new games or play your favorites with non-competitive people who like to laugh. You can build a railroad, eradicate a plague, or explore the far reaches of the galaxy in one evening.
While many will bring their own games, you can show up gameless and still play.
We play at the Board Room in Clarendon on Wednesday from 6:30-10:00. It's within walking distance from the Clarendon metro. **Find us in the far left by the fermentation tanks.** If that area is reserved for a private event, look for us in the middle. Look for a group that has containers and carrying bags with multiple games.
We're very fortunate to have this great venue for our game nights and they take care of us for 3-1/2 hours, so please spend a minimum of $10 on food or drink and tip generously (at the very least $2, even if 20% of your bill would be $1). Thanks!
FREE* Avatar Draft!
I'll be drafting more Avatar packs I acquired for FREE, and you'll get to keep some of the cards! The only catch is a need quite a few for cubes. I'll look over your picks and take what I need after the draft.
Call me if you've signed up and are having trouble finding us: 760-815-1744
Also, here's a spreadsheet of cards [needed for my cubes](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uanQ4tfY_ygH_wAFe9krzo1Swbu4Ax8Ao204nPPymIA/edit?usp=sharing) for donation/trade! Feel free to show up as early as 5:30 for Jumpstart or Planechase Commander.
**CONDUCT POLICY**
We cultivate a safe, friendly atmosphere. Please keep other's feelings close to mind. Derogatory comments of any kind are unacceptable, as is behavior that may make others uncomfortable, such as rage-quitting. If the stresses of the game are getting to you, we encourage you to politely sit out for a while. Thank you!
**TARDINESS POLICY**
If you're more than 10 minutes late, I'll enlist my wife to draft for you until your arrival. If she's unavailable, we'll make random, blind picks for you.
If this is your first time RSVPing to one of my events, please message me to confirm your full vaccination status and that you will be attending.

Are Your Smarter Than a 5th Grader Game Night
Hey friends! 📚✨
I’m hosting an Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Game Night at my place and I’d love for some people to join if interested.
The vibe is basically adult game night meets elementary school throwback
Think whiteboards, timed challenges, trivia, and a little friendly competition to see who actually remembers anything from school.
Just come ready to laugh, compete, and have a good time.
Formula De
We will be playing Formula De with up to 10 players. All experience levels welcome. Expect the game teach to start promptly within the first 10 minutes.
**Formula Dé** is a fast-paced racing game in which every gear is represented by the roll of a die, determining the number of spaces that your car can travel for the turn. In each corner of the racetrack each car must stop a set number of times before leaving the corner. Much like heat, manage your car to the limit to secure your win.
Find [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdTb5SXO-5k&pp=ygUVaG93IHRvIHBsYXkgZm9ybXVsYSBk) a how to play video on youtube.

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.
