If you own a game that you would like to bring to the meetup, please feel free to do so. However, games such as Exploding Kittens, Unstable Unicorns, Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, and Monopoly are generally not welcome.
Unless stated otherwise, meetups are free to attend. Local businesses often host them, so your support by patronizing these establishments is greatly appreciated and encouraged.
If you have suggestions for nearby venues or locations for future events, even those outside of Tamaqua, please contact the Meetup group Organizer and share your ideas.
