Sunday boardgame meetup
Our free-of-charge meet-up in the Black Sheep Pub on Capel Street.
This is a casual meet up for people who want to play boardgames. Lots of people bring plenty of games and rules will always be explained so don't worry if you're new to the hobby and you don't have anything to bring along or think you won't know how to play.
The meet-up runs for the whole day but late comers always welcome, you just may have to wait a little for a game to open up but games will be starting and ending throughout the day.
**IMPORTANT!**
**The meet up is free of charge but we do ask that people support the bar by buying food and/or drink. The bar is very accommodating to us and it's important that we support them in return. Bringing in outside food or drink is completely unacceptable.**
Check out the comments below where people will say what games they are bringing and express your interest in joining if interested.
Any questions contact either of the organisers Gavin or Stephen.
Let’s play… Salvage Union / Rosewood Abbey / The King is Dead
Join us every Sunday and tell a story as a group by playing a beginner-friendly roleplaying game. Every week we have 2-3 different games - you will choose which game you play on the day. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination.
🎭 **This week's facilitators:**
* 🤖 **Flo** with *[Salvage Union](https://leyline.press/collections/salvage-union)*, a post-apocalyptic mech RPG with easy to learn mechanics. In a distant future, humanity has spread and scattered through the stars, Corporations own most of the liveable planets and a majority of the population works for them. Your group however is part of the Salvage Union, a self-sustaining community of workers, salvagers, pilots, technicians, cooks, and all manner of free spirits rejecting the Corpo’s hegemony. Your Crawler, a constantly falling apart colony-ship, slowly moves along from planet to planet in the Outer Rim to salvage as much Scrap as you can carry, using Mechs put together with salvaged scrap, duct tape and the unshakable belief that despite the Corpos and dangerous alien wildlife there is still hope and good people out there. You are **Salvagers**, what stories will they tell about you?
* ⛪ **Vishnu** with *[Rosewood Abbey](https://rolistespod.itch.io/rosewood-abbey)*, a *Carved from Brindlewood* adventure where an informal brotherhood of curious friars, the Fratres Herodoti, solve the latest mystery that everyone is convinced is an act of god or the devil. In this week's adventure, the single rose that bloomed in winter is missing and it's up to the friars to get to the bottom of it before the rumour mill blows it up and the papal inquisition comes investigating.
* 👑 **Adam** leading warrior princes and princesses towards a war of succession in *[The King Is Dead](https://lumpley.itch.io/the-king-is-dead)*, a GM-less, card-based RPG. The king of Banteave has died without heir and civil war is certain. To see your house exalted, you’ll have to fight and scheme, ally with your rivals and betray your friends. You were born for this.

Grace by James Joyce (Bloomsday Festival)
"Grace” from Joyce’s *Dubliners* is a tale of booze, bombast and religious confusion that brilliantly satirises the role of the Catholic Church in early twentieth century Irish life. When struggling salesman, Tom Kernan (who also appears in *Ulysses*), is found drunk and injured in a pub toilet and brought home in disgrace to his long suffering wife, his friends hatch a plot to save him from his errant ways.
[Please secure your own ticket on Eventbrite.](https://jamesjoyce.ie/events/bloomsday-festival-2026-grace-by-james-joyce/)
This acclaimed production features the actor and comedian, **Terry O’Neill**, who brings to life Joyce’s rare collection of characters and takes you on a hilarious journey from purgatory to paradise.
*Dubliners*, first published in 1914, is one of the great short story collections in the English language. By exploring the lives of his fellow Dublin citizens with unflinching realism, Joyce revealed truths both blasphemous and transcendent.

[www.game-arena.co](http://www.game-arena.co/)

Don't have a game to show? Not a problem! All are welcomed and invited from all ages and backgrounds. The more we can have to play test our games is all the better!

Digital, table-top, non-experienced developers, and the like are welcomed! We'll provide signage for your game to help others learn more about your work. Wifi, outlets, tables, and seats (though standing tables also) are available.

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.

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.
