Southwest Metro Card and Board Games Meetup Group

This is an ongoing Saturday board gaming meetup, meeting the first and third Saturday of each month at The Forge in Chaska.

Whether you are experienced with the hobby, or just discovering modern hobby board gaming, we would love to game with you and have fun together in an inclusive and friendly atmosphere. The store has a gaming library for people to use for free, and many attendees bring games to teach and play with others. Don’t feel pressured having to bring games, but the more the merrier!! Also, if you do bring games, please be prepared to teach them to others.

The Forge is an AMAZING game store and they have snacks and beverages for sale, but also allow outside food and beverages. The Forge has a killer retail section that features every aspect of the gaming hobby, at excellent prices.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, and please RSVP as early as you can, so I can keep The Forge aware to ensure we have gaming space.

We will be playing board games at a brewery. I will bring some of my own games but feel free to bring anything you would like to play. We normally do a teach before playing any game so don't worry if you're not familiar with any specific game.

The venue serves food and has happy hour until 6. We normally have one of the tables on the right side of the building (in front of the foodtruck) reserved.

This event is at Shakopee Brewhall in Shakopee from 6pm to 9pm(ish).

I will bring name tags (and sharpies).

For those of you who have never attended one of our events, we usually start with some quick(ish) games while we wait for everyone to arrive. Then we split into groups of 3-5 people to play the more time intensive games.

There is zero expectation to know how to play these games before-hand. Anyone bringing games should expect to teach others how to play.

I'll have a selection of games and usually other attendees will bring selections from their collections too. If you have a favorite game you would like to introduce us to please bring it!

Meetup to play board games such as 7 Wonders, Roll for the Galaxy, etc. You should be able to find us by looking for the stack of games. We usually get the table to the right of the entrance. We'll go over the rules for any games we play, so don't worry about not knowing them. Feel free to bring any games you'd like to play.

Hope to see you there!
