About The Chicago Boardgames Meetup Group

Current events on Twitter: chi_boardgames

The Chicago Boardgames Meetup is working to become a hub of a wide range of boardgaming and related activities spanning across the city of Chicago. Over 5 years, we've grown from a handful of people in a cafe to filling a small meeting hall. While historically we've had a focus on eurogames (Settlers of Catan, Puerto Rico and more), we're trying to branch out to include more traditional and party games.

In 2009, we are
- Recruiting and promoting for our group to have a membership goal of 2009 members in 2009.
- Partnering with local venues for special events.
- Reaching out to other meetups and programs to promote gaming.

We're always interested in venues, assistant organizers, and ideas. We value your input! Please contribute your thoughts on the message board, and talk to the organizers at your meetup events.

Thanks for joining us.
