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!

COME JOIN US ONCE or TWICE A MONTH TO PLAY BOARDGAMES AND MEET NEW FRIENDS! Examples of some of the games we play: Apples to Apples, Balderdash, Cranium, LCR, Scrabble, Rummikub, Taboo, Yatzee, Catch Phrase, Smart Ass, etc. NEW ADDITIONS; CARCASONNE, CATAN AND KILLER BUNNIES Feel free to bring your favorite game.

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 …

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

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.

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 …
