The Waltham Boardgames Meetup Group
|
We meet every Thursday at "Danger Planet", a board game store in Waltham located on Spruce St. The commuter rail is a short walk away and there is plenty of free parking just a few feet away from the store. Each week anywhere from 8 to 20 people show up, People start showing up at 6PM but continue to trickle in over the next several hours as new games are starting throughout the night. Here is a brief overview of just a few of the games that are played: Thebes - You play the role of an Archaeologist. You move your Archaeologist around Europe acquiring ancient knowledge and tools. You then perform digs at ancient sites in places like Egypt and Greece where you'll uncover rare artifacts that go towards your total score. Bootlegger - Set in the 1920's during prohibition, you play the role of a 'boss' seeking to make a name for yourself by producing booze and selling it. Players attempt to control distribution through money and corruption by muscling in on the competition, paying off the local law authorities, building underground speakeasies, and shipping trucks of "hooch"! Ticket to Ride - You are a railroad tycoon competing to build routes. ...and many more!
