What we’re about
Just a group for people who like beer and board games. No experience necessary, we just like playing Catan and Ticket to Ride with strangers :)
This group was started by Yaroslav and Elora in their backyard. Then we moved the events to Dream Escape (a board game lounge in Toronto) because there's only that many people that you can fit into a backyard. Now Yaroslav and Elora moved to travel the world, and Dream Escape is currently doing the organizing.
