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.

We play all kinds of games-German strategy games, tradeable cardgames, "party games" such as Clue, Scrabble, Backgammon, miniature battles, pretty much anything. Bring any game you want, and more than likely somebody will be interested in playing it!

Monthly get-togethers for couples in their 30s and 40s. Ideally this group will rotate between different member's homes. Host couple provides the game(s) and light snacks. Visitors BYOB...preferably a micro-brew of choice to share with the group.

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!
