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.

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!

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).

Currently we are meeting semi-regularly (c.f. El Sobra …

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 group is for 30-40 somethings who prefer enjoying a homecooked meal instead of a crowded restaurant or a boardgame get together instead of a noisy bar. We enjoy the company of others and want to build community but don't really dig the party scene. Looking forward to getting together for picnics, afternoon canning and quaint potluck dinners.

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

WHO SHOULD JOIN: "55 Alive" is an activities group for single, widowed, divorced or separated singles from 55 to 85 ... who are glad to be alive!     Sorry, this group is not for 50 year olds, but if you are going to turn fifty-five (55) soon, then that's close enough.  Most of our members are boomers and the average age is over sixty (60), but many of us are still working.

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.

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 …

Interested in Scrabble, meeting new people, chat, coffee, wine. Looking for gals and guys that enjoy a good game and conversation.Would like to meet say twice a month, place to be determined by response. Once we get to know each other we can rotate hosting or find a nice restaurant that doesn't mind us playing there.

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 …

Become a board member and meet up to play board games. Mostly for fun, but a little competition is great. Chess, checkers, backgammon, or whatever is your game. If we are unfamiliar with a game, you can teach it to willing members and we can have a go. The location is perfect for our group, drinks and snacks are available. The owner is willing to give gift cards to member champions!

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 …

Backgammon Club in Antioch, CA. Want to learn a fascinating game or re-create an old one?  The game of backgammon is one of the oldest two-person board games in history.  It was very big in the 70's and early 80's but slowly declined as poker grew. Now it's time to bring the game back! We will play two matches every Tuesday night and the player with the most wins at the end of each month will get a free personal pizza, donated by Mountain Mike's Pizza. Come get your game on and meet new people e …
