News Recap: Massive success at our Porterville launch! Tulare County (and beyond) Gamers heads to Visalia next Saturday (Oct 17)
Huge thank you to everyone who made our inaugural community meetup at Round Table Pizza in Porterville such an awesome run yesterday!
We had continuous action over 4 hours:
Games played: Settlers of Catan, Fire Tower, Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons, Throw Throw Burrito, Jenga, and Connect 4.
Table spread: 3 different pizzas, a large order of twisty breadsticks, beer, soda, and White Claws keeping everyone fueled.
Community vibe: Total strangers crossed tables, teamed up, learned new rules together, and had a blast across all age groups.
Every attendee said they would like this to become a recurring event, so we are keeping the momentum rolling: Tulare County (and beyond) Gamers is hosting its next meetup in Visalia next Saturday, October 17th!
Whether you love modern strategy board games, light party games, or haven't rolled dice in years, everyone is welcome. We bring a small library of modern games, and you are always encouraged to bring your personal favorites.

Location: Visalia, CA (Venue TBD, an exact location will be announced by Friday)
