Meet with other local Diplomacy Players. Get together and play this and its Variants about international intrigue. Very friendly to new players with world class mentors and helpers abound in the hobby. We also have extensive contacts for play by email as well as hosting several Diplomacy Tournament events yearly in the Bay Area

We are an eccentric group that appreciate the art of silliness and the science of adventure. If you are a little bit quirky & a lot bit fun, this group is for you... "Geek Love" is the title of a fictional tale following a family of circus freaks. The name captures the eclectic spirit of our group's activities, ranging from: Themed dinners ...Rock your 50s poodle skirts & letter jackets for a retro BBQ; Pig out on pork cuisine at Geek Love's annual Bacon Bash Happy hours with a twist ...Don you …

I've started this group because I'm a huge fan of the strategy boardgame, Agricola. This group is for fellow fans who'd like a regular chance to play the game, build skills, etc. Newbies are welcome...we'll teach the game to you. People who own the game (and all the expansion cards) are *particularly* welcome.

Dominion is a fun, easy to learn, deck building card game. Each player starts with an identical, very small deck of cards. In the center of the table is a selection of other cards the players can "buy" as they can afford them. Through their selection of cards to buy, and how they play their hands as they draw them, the players construct their deck on the fly, striving for the most efficient path to the precious victory points by game end. 2-5 players. The game usually takes 30-45 minutes. No gam …

This meetup has been going on since about November 2011, as a place to organize weekly game nights.  We play mostly Euro-style strategy games, such as those found on boardgamegeek.com.  So, experienced strategy gamers are preferred but if you don't mind learning some relatively complicated rules, we are happy to teach.  We are always looking to recruit others to the die-hard boardgamer cult.  Welcome!

Antisocialite: (n) A person who defies convention by just being an individual. Not to be confused with an antisocial, antisocialites do not shun socializing, but rather avoid using it as a lifestyle. If that description fits you then come join us for some fun offbeat activities! Meet amazing friends that enjoy doing things a little differently and discover new ways to express yourself. Some of the things we'll do: Throw a costume party with pirates versus aliens versus superheroes Play a zo …

Queer and Trans Scrabblers - Oakland is a group of living, breathing homo gays who get together once a month to play scrabble at a local cafe. Typically, the group is small but outgoing and anyone who identifies as queer, trans, gay, lesbian, butch, etc is welcome. We bring at least two boards, name tags and the sacred Scrabble dictionary. RSVPing is encouraged so we save enough room for you in the cafe.

Welcome to the North Oakland Go Club! Our regular playing time is 11:00 AM 3:00 PM each Sunday at the It's Your Move game store at 4920 Telegraph Ave. in the Temescal business district (a block south of 51st St., across from Walgreen's). Our goal is to provide a welcoming, supportive environment for players from first-timers to experts, focusing on the beauty and intellectual challenge of the game at least as much as on who's winning.  Anyone can learn to play, including children as young as fiv …

This meetup is primarily for people who work at Eventbrite, and will be happening regardless of however many people look like they are attending on here. Please join the group if you think you would be a great addition to the evening and would be a regular member. However, please be understanding that it is at the group's discretion whom to accept and decline. That said, hope you'll join us! ~m

You wear your Chuck Tailors more often then high heels.  Sarcasm and irony are part of your repertoire.  You're classy most of the time but love a little trashy here and there.  You relish in the tackiness of the Tonga Room/Medieval Times/Madonna Inn because they're all so ridiculous.  Your tongue is sticking out in 75% of the photos you're in.  You typically find yourself hanging out with guys and every once and a while you think "I could use a couple of friends who are female".  You secretly l …

Let's step away from the technology for at least an hour each month to connect and laugh over fun board/card games. Blue Orange Games sponsors this Meetup group by providing games and other perks. I just want to clarify that I do work for them but I run this meetup and welcome games from all companies. If you work for a game c …

One of us! One of us! We created this group to chew gum and play games and we're all out of gum. No seriously we love playing table-top role playing, board-games and card games, etc and we wanted to get groups of folks together here who love doing the same thing. There's always new games and demos to try, and GM's looking for groups or groups that need a location on certain nights. On our Board-game night (Monday from 6pm to 10pm) we have a storage closet full of games & people are more then wel …

Have a strategic boardgame mechanic in your head? Want to get it to paper, create a prototype, develop rules, and create something not only playable but enjoyable and perhaps even marketable? Or do you want to interact with those who are actively developing, prototyping, playtesting - gaining access to unfinished designs before they hit the market? Then this group is for you! Together, we will discuss game theory, game ideas, design concepts, the process of prototyping, playtest existing designs …
