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!

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 …
