Beer & Board Games

Hey All,

The Beer and Board Games group will be meeting at the Crystal City Shops outside We The Pizza.

This group is very beginner friendly, so if you don't know any of the games provided, be prepared to learn a new one. You are also welcome to bring your own games. People trickle in and out throughout the night so if you show up late, just wait a bit for other games to finish or for more people to show up.

We play a variety of game with a focus on Euros
Here are some examples of the games we like to play.

• Revive
• Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition
• Keyflower
• Harmonies

The Process:

Folks come to the event either empty handed or with board games to share. The games available vary from event to event.

After finishing a borrowed game, place it back where you found it, in the same condition you found it in (pieces in bags, all decks secured with rubber bands, etc). If you decide to leave your game in the game library, please make sure the box is identifiably yours. Many titles are popular and there might be more than one copy of a game at the same event.

Parking in the building is free after 4pm. If taking Metrorail, it is the Crystal City stop.

Directions from the Metro:

If you're taking the Metro, exit at Crystal City. When you come up the first set of escalators, turn left to enter the underground shops and then turn left again after a brief walk. Cross the street, enter the next building, and the seating area will be on the left after passing the Minuteman Press Printing and Marketing shop.

Parking:

If you're driving, garage parking is free after 4 pm. Enter the garage on 2144 Crystal Drive. There will be elevators that take you up to the main level.

We play a variety of high interaction games including party, cooperative, and social deduction games.

From 1-2pm, we will play quick fillers. At 2pm, we will play longer games that take between 30 minutes and 3 hours. Rules will be explained before a game starts.

Here are some games that have been played at past events

• Twilight Struggle
