We are a fun and friendly group of poker players. The event host will select what type of poker (limit-no limit- tournament etc.) we will be playing that night. Each event will give the details of that particular event and what type of poker to expect. Bring your own bev and snack; if you'd like to, bring a snack to share. Besides poker, focus is on fun and meeting new people.  We welcome beginners too!

This meetup exists to facilitate tabletop board and role-playing games in the East Bay. We meet semi-regularly in the El Sobrante area (near Pinole and San Pablo), in the back of the El Sobrante public library (atop the site of an old Huichin village and burial ground). We are generally not hardcore gamers and hope to share a large spectrum of game play. We have played such games as Arkham Horror, Descent, Munchkin, Resistance, and Monopoly. Currently we are meeting semi-regularly (c.f. El Sobra …

Update: July 2012  With a new Organizer (Scott) We are switching focus to Pathfinder Society play while still enjoying various board game nights.

I am a member of a bunch of fun MeetUp groups, but many are far away.  This one is to try and round up more local people for my favorite interests. This group is for all of us who live in Concord and beyond and still want to have fun but with a little less driving. The hope is for us to be able to find some local people who like to do whatever it is we like to do or, at the least, meet some cool people in the area.  We've got some great local resources out here, and we're well situated for esc …

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.

Great group for adults who enjoy ALL types of board and card games. I'm hoping we'll be able to have individual "Host" houses for small group get togethers. I'll encourage multiple meetups on the same day or weekend with alot of different games, giving members a choice on what they'll want to play. I personally prefer the fantasy, horror and science fictions games, so I'll be hosting these types of games at my house, with an occasional "traditional" game thrown in, for example, Risk, Chess and t …

Because there is more to life then your avatar. **This is an INVITE only Group.  If you haven't received an invite from one of the organizers, unfortunately we will have to decline your request****

My wife and I just moved from the North Bay where I had a weekly D&D group to the East Bay (Concord) where we don't know anyone. I'm not interested in starting another D&D/RPG group, as it just eats up too much of my time/energy and my work schedule has become too unpredictable to allow me to play steady at a D&D table right now. I work at a Hotel and work some weird hours (swings and graveyards) and my days off can shift around. That's why I'm looking to start a more casual gaming group. This w …

This group is meant to bring together folks that want to play games that are played around a table. Some examples are cards, role playing, board games, miniatures such as war hammer. Really any games that bring folks together. Let your imagination go and have fun.

A meetup for co mingling female word nerds. This group is not necessarily for the 10 letter aficianado's, rather an opportunity for a novice writer, or earnest lover of language seeking a broader vocabulary.

Calling all board game enthusiasts! Whether you're new to board games or have been playing them for years, let's get together and play & learn some games in and around Petaluma (plenty of coffee shops around, and hey, even breweries), and of course, get to know each other in the meantime! This is a new meetup group, so I'm open for suggestions about where this meetup group could go and what types of board games we could play - at this point, anything's "fair game" - haha. Once we have a few memb …

Calling all Gamers! This group is about the past time of gaming. Currently the "Mission Statement" is in flux... as it should be. The groups focus, to begin with, will be board games of the more "complex" nature. Pandemic, Lords of Waterdeep, Cosmic Encounter and many more. Card games could include, Magic the Gathering or Legends of the Five rings. And lastly we may dabble in roleplaying games such as Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder. It will be a place to meet. Discuss gaming news, play a few g …

This is a group for anyone who is interested in strategy gaming in its many face to face forms. This would include Miniatures, either Historical or Sci-Fi/Fantasy, strategy oriented boardgames from euro games to historical boardgames, or euro style card games. I started this group so I could meet other gamers in a social atmosphere and local, or close to Pittsburg, Antioch, Oakley, Brentwood. Looking forward to gaming with everyone.
