**Please RSVP before 3pm on Thursday if possible. Please do not show if you have not RSVP'd. There is a $6+tax seating fee payable to the store. Packaged memberships are also available.** Entering our 10th year, this group has been running weekly events intended for Dad's who are also board game enthusiasts. Please see our photo gallery for a sample of the games we play. We do not typically table mass market games (Chess, Clue, Monopoly etc.) We often table a variety of games, new and old, to keep things fresh. It is not required that you bring any games yourself, although it is appreciated if you do. In that case, please be prepared to teach whichever games you bring. Please do your best to support our venue LVLUP Games. Consider buying all your board games and accessories there. The focus for each event is to have fun so please adhere to our event etiquette (Jan 2026): 1. Please show up on time (we usually start the non-filler games right when the event starts). 2. Please only attend an event if you've already RSVP'd. Please change your RSVP status if you have to cancel (we typically wait a bit if we think you're stuck in traffic). 3. Please be kind to other players at your table: * No excessively long turns * No silly arguments over rules (if there's ambiguity, just agree on something temporarily for the evening) * No rolling back your moves in previous turns 4. You can invite a non-Dad guest every now and then but they cannot be a regular member of the group. 5. Please leave the arguments about politics at home. 6. Please do not take a win/loss too seriously. Thanks and we look forward to having you join us! Jon M.

The D&D Adventurers League is an ongoing official organized play campaign for Dungeons & Dragons. It uses the fifth edition of the Dungeons & Dragons rules, and features the Forgotten Realms setting. You can play D&D Adventurers League games at any place that features adventures bearing the D&D Adventurers League logo. You can create a character and bring that character to games anywhere D&D Adventurers League is supported. More details: https://dnd.wizards.com/playevents/players Sitting fees apply.

**PLEASE READ:** This event will show as sold out on meetup since this event has a limit of 5 spaces and tend to book up. You can **SECURE** your seat through purchasing a ticket on https://lvlupgames.ca/products/rpg-one-shot-obojima-tales-from-the-tall-grass in advance. **If you can add it to cart on the site that means the spot is still available!** Hello adventurers! Do you enjoy cozy games such as Stardew Valley or Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Welcome to the mysterious and cozy island of Obojima! Inspired heavily by Studio Ghibli films such as Kiki’s Delivery Service and Spirited Away, as well as the fantasy adventures of Legend of Zelda, Obojima brings would-be adventurers to a much more relaxed and lower stakes adventure. Enjoy the beautiful rolling hills, magical hot springs, adorable nature spirits, and uncover the mysterious technology left behind by the First Civilization. Whether it's helping the local farmers with some mischievous spirits or accompanying archeologists to an ancient temple; Obojima’s adventures are perfectly described as “cozy fantasy”. This is a 3 hour Dungeons and Dragons Obojima session for those who have already participated in the learn to play, or players that already know the mechanics of D&D 5th edition! **Please ensure you are available for your chosen date before you purchase your ticket.** Every **month** will be a **new** adventure from Obojima Tales from the Tall Grass book! **Game Master:** Nick (He/Him) Nick, has been a Dungeon Master for 10 years, experienced in many mainstream and indie RPG systems. Outside of RPGs, Nick has several years of theatre experience, being an actor in his youth and continuing his studies even now. He is upbeat and theatrical, standing and acting out dramatic action sequences and quiet emotional scenes. More than anything, Nick always tries his best to deliver an experience, something that will be a special memory for everyone. **What is 5th Edition and how does it differ from 5.5 Edition?** Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition is an older version that was released in 2017 where 5.5 is the most current edition (released in 2024) with some changes to game mechanics. Most third party campaigns are made for 5th edition mechanics. So if you would like to play any D&D campaigns prior to 2024 (the majority of them) 5th edition would be your go-to! If you are interested in the 5.5 Edition we have a Dragon Delves learn-to-play series available as well. Due to the limited spaces available for this event, we will not be issuing refunds for this event **less than 48 hours before the event**. Be sure to purchase the ticket for the correct date.

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.
