What we’re about
CODE OF CONDUCT
If you love board games but, like many others, have difficulty finding regular games where you can meet fellow board-gamers then you have come to the right page!
Chicago Board Games Meetup is a weekly, board game meetup where board-gamers can explore the city - try new venues - and connect with fellow board game enthusiasts.
Our group is evolving and we would love any feedback you have, so feel free to get in touch with us.
• We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form, be it verbal, physical, online, or otherwise. This extends to incidents involving group members, yet outside of our events.
-To that end, we do what we can as Hosts and Showrunner try to introduce ourselves to everyone. Our names are listed below:
Hosts:
Daniel
Twan
Jordan
Showrunner:
Xain
If anyone who's name is not listed above attempts to ban people or act like they're in a leadership role will be asked to leave immediately and not return.
• We understand gaming is competitive by nature, and trash talking is a part of it, however sometimes players can take this too far to the detriment of the enjoyment of the game.
• If someone lets you know you’re being inappropriate, respect them and stop. Respect each players individuality and allow everyone to make up their own minds during their turn.
• If you think they’re making a mistake - ask if they want your opinion before offering it.
• The group is intended for adults, the minimum age is 21 for the bar-centered meetups.
• Request permission before taking photos that includes anyone's faces.
• Respect each other, and observe basic hygiene (if you’re sick, don’t spread it).
• Respect the venue, tidy up after yourself. If you moved a table, or chair, move it back.
• Consent applies to board game communities too. You are not obliged to play games with people you do not enjoy playing games with. You are allowed to say 'no'. If you do find you are avoiding playing with anyone, for any reason, please let the organizer know.
• If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a meetup organizer as soon as you feel it is safe to do so.
• Advertisements and spam will not be tolerated from non-active members and will result in an instant and irrevocable ban.
We want everyone to have a good time, and reserve the right to take whatever action is required to solve the issue for you.
