Come play all kinds of board games on Monday nights! Both beginners and experienced gamers are welcome. You're not expected to know any of the games as we're always happy to do teach-and-plays. While the hosts will bring games, we also encourage members to bring any games they'd like to play.

ATTENDANCE
You do not have to arrive at 5:30 sharp! People drop in-and-out throughout the Meetup and we often play more than one game a night. For those driving, there is plenty of free parking near the location.

FOOD & DRINK
While there is no cover charge or minimum purchase, we do ask that you support the venue by making a purchase when attending. The brewery has a lot of non-alcoholic beverage options for those that do not drink alcohol. You are allowed to bring outside food into the brewery as they do not serve food.

We play both board and card games that involve some sort of strategy component. Typically these games take 1-2 hours and are 4-5 players. Examples of these include Agricola, Great Western Trail, Tzolk'in, Terra Mystica, Castles of Burgundy, Beyond the Sun, Ark Nova, etc.
If anyone would like to post comments about what games they'd like to play that night/solicit interest from other attendees, great to think ahead. No problem if not though, will bring a bunch of games, and everyone can just figure out what they'd like to play upon arrival. If you don't know games like the ones listed above but are up for learning, there are at least a couple of us available to teach.
Please try to arrive on time! While you're welcome to show up late, if everyone is in a long game, you may be waiting for some time for another game to start.
