Who organized?
Frank Holub

This is an excellent meet-up for both new and experienced gamers. We cater to both, with some serious gamers for those of you who are looking for a challenge. Plus, we support new and/or less competitive gamers as well by explaining games and answering questions to help make sure you have an enjoyable gaming experience. Our group meets every other Monday. The parking is free and we're located close to the Metra and bus stops.
Favorites that see lots of play are Stone Age, Settlers of Catan, Tomb, Dominion, Pandemic, Alhambra, Tichu, Bang! the Bullet and Starship Catan. I just got in some more games, so you can expect to see Starfarers of Catan, Oasis, Dragonriders, Carcassonne The Discovery, Puerto Rico, Brass and Shadows Over Camelot to show up. Plus, I have over 800 games in my personal collection so feel free to browse my list at www.boardgamegeek.com. My user name is: fastfrank23. and let me know if there's a certain game you would like to play. Just email me at [masked] and i'll try to bring it. You can also bring your own games as well

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

    •  I enjoyed playing Settlers of Catan and Stone Age. 
    •  We had are busiest night yet! 4 tables of gaming going on at once. Games that hit the table were Dungeon Lords, Settlers of Catan, Puerto Rico, Small World, Caylus, Stone Age and Castle Panic. The food was good as always and the service was fantastic. 
    •  The people I met were friendly and competitive, I had fun, while losing my first and only game of settlers of Catan.

       I won Settlers - yay. Didn't quite win Stone Age, though. 
    •  After 150+ plays of Caylus online, I was finally able to teach and finish an in-person game! Also had a chance to try Dungeon Lords, which was really cool.

       My husband and I, who have been boardgamers for decades, and even travel out-of-state for boardgaming, are very happy to have a Boardgaming Meetup in our home town of Berwyn.
