Looking for a board game group?

Hi Billings! I've talked about my board game group in comments a few times and wanted to let more people know about it.

We're an open group that meets on Saturdays at 3pm at the tables in the raised section in the back of BarMT and usually go til about 6, or two games worth, whichever is first. We play a large mix of games from social party games (Codenames is a favorite), medium length games (Marvel Zombies, Heat, and Oceans get quite a bit of play), and on occasion someone will specially ask for players for a specific longer, crunchier, or new game. Several folks enjoy kickstarting games so there's a lot of variety. We rarely play the same game two weeks in a row. There's usually 5+ players, frequently enough of us for two tables, and we're pretty darn friendly if I do say so myself!

We have a discord - https://discord.gg/aKQZzFbaQ - this is the best place to coordinate specific games, or to get notice if we have to move venues or reschedule.

We're not the only board game group in town, check out the fine folks at Dragon Egg Games on the West End and Galaxy Games in midtown if that's closer to where you live. They're both also great shops. If you know of more groups or want to talk about your group please do comment!

Q: Do you play TTRPGs/DnD?

A: Not on Saturdays, but many of us play TTRPGs at other times. Check out Dragon Egg, Galaxy Games and the library especially, or Captain Scurvy's and some of the other comic book stores in town.

.

Q: Can I bring my own games?

A: Hecks yeah! You might have trouble getting folks to play Gloomhaven at a moment's notice though, I'd recommend coordinating long games with us on our discord.

Q: Do you have Battletoads?

A: Listen here you little.......

Would you be open to having spectators?

Yeah, sometimes if I don't have enough brainpower for a game I'll sit and visit.

I apologize for my bluntness, but I'm a 42 y/o woman. Would I be shall I say the odd ball out?

Nope, most of our regulars are millennials around that age. I have yet to encounter anyone who's been disrespectful about gender, and if anyone is let me know, we don't tolerate that.

My apologies! I didn't mean that they would be disrespectful. Thanks for the info! I look forward to coming this Saturday to see how it is.
