Thanks for coming by!

What you may have discovered, or soon will, is that board games have advanced a lot over the years. And many of them are very, very good. From discovering new civilizations to fighting off zombies in a barn, there are board games designed around an amazing variety of interests and activities. We hope that you'll think past your old favorites and challenge yourself with something new.

If you are just stopping by and not based in Chicago, I am connected in with similar groups around the nation. Drop me a note and I'll point you to one in your area!

For people interested in Role-Playing games, join my other meetup group: www.RPGChicago.com

Want to attend?

Every Wednesday night starting about 6 PM we have open board game play until extremely late at night. In fact we do not close until the last game is over... Some of our favorites include Arkham Horror, Stone Age, Battlestar Galactica, Tribune, Smallworld and Space Hulk. We have an insane selection of hundreds of 'demo' games available for use but everyone is encouraged to bring anything that they would like to play. Read more
