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!

Enjoy a fun Weekday evening , or perhaps a Saturday of boardgames.

Remember when you come to a Meetup to bring a few of your own games. Join us if you like board …

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 …

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 …

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.

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 …

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 …

People who own the game (and all the expansion cards) are *particularly* welcome.

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 …

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 …

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.

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.
