Hello, I am looking to expand my board games group in Plainfield. I had 50 players group in CA, we used to play every weekend. I have a decent collection ( over 200) of board games. You can bring a friend if you want to , just add them as " + 1 quest " please. I suppose some people might be hesitant meeting strangers if it’s not at some public place, but i can assure you, my wife and I are completely normal, friendly and very social people and we have no doubt that you will have a great time here. You can check my address on the map, we live in the middle of Plainfield, surrounded by upper middle class big houses, it's a nice area. I can offer big table, comfortable chairs and relaxing, friendly environment. Please feel free to ask any questions. You can see my collection on this boardgamegeek.com linkhttps://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/SaifurClicking on " large gallery mode " (top left corner) will give you better view of the games. There are a few pages with games. Please keep in mind that playing any of the games in my collection takes from 2 to 3 hours (sometimes even longer). In any case you have to be sure that you are free for at least 3 to 4 hours.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------We play different games every time. I rotate them constantly, so if someone doesn't like the game we played, they will know something else will be played next time. I often post few options and players vote what they want to play. Please check the comments section under each event !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------I want to emphasize that we do not play very light type of games ( Catan, Ticket to ride , etc ), but i have plenty of more casual and medium weight games. All games in my collection are top rated on boardgamegeek.com, with great positive reviews and really enjoyable to play. You are not expected to know the rules of the game we will be playing. I have been playing board games for many years and i am used to explaining the rules every time before we start playing, so don't worry about that. During the game i will always help you to figure out how everything works, will give you advice, and it doesn't matter that you are my opponent in the game. For me its more important people to enjoy the games and their time here, and considering the overall feedback, I think I manage to achieve that for most players. As a hobby, I also paint miniatures, so you will also have the chance to play some games with uniquely painted figures.Some of the games i have painted are "Blood Rage","Rising sun"," The Godfather"," Scythe","Western legends"," The Walking dead- here's Negan"," Narcos " ,"Cthulhu Wars", "Vengeance", "Hannibal&Hamilcar ", "Imperial Assault" , " Mythic Battles" and others. I have probably close to 1 000 if not more painted figures from the miniatures game " A song of ice and fire" ( Game of Thrones ). Feel free to bring whatever snacks or drinks you want, although I always have something to offer here (snacks, soda, beer, etc ) I am only asking you not to bring stuff that is greasy, just use common sense, no one likes sticky fingerprints on their board game components.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The address is 25719 Pastoral dr. Plainfield, 60585. You can park in the driveway, that is fine My phone number is 747 888 7740. Please, always check your personal messages on meetup before the actual gaming session. If I have to cancel the meeting, I will send message to everybody who signed up. The reason for canceling could be because not enough people signed up or if too many people canceled which again leaves us with not enough players.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I can't overstate how important this is - please BE here ON TIME! If you are the only person ( or group of people coming together ) it is OK to be a little late, but that's rarely the case, and if you are late, that means there are 3 , 4 or 5 people just sitting here, doing nothing and waiting for you. Not only you would be wasting other people time ( and some of them probably have limited time ), but you might discourage new players from coming back again, if they are left with the impression that our events are poorly organized. Please consider other people time and be punctual.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to thank in advance to everyone who donates any amount to support the group. It is much appreciated. All donations will go towards snacks, beer, meetup monthly fees. Please do not feel obliged to donate, its entirely optional and up to you.

Finally, i know this was a big wall of text, and i want to thank you for having the patience to read it. I think it was necessary to help everyone to better understand and enjoy our board game meetings. I also apologize for any possible punctiation or grammar mistakes, English is not my first language.
