I am taking over this meetup since the former organizer is not doing it any more. I am definitely open to adding co-organizers, so please let me know if you want to do that. And/or if you can host an event at your place or a venue that you know and like. I am asking for $1 from everyone when they come to a meetup event to help with the cost of having this meetup site - it's $12/month so 2 meetups per month with 6 people at each should do it. I am not trying to make $ but don't really want to cov …

Nyeek is a social get together for board game enthusiasts in the New York City area. If that sounds kind of geeky let me assure you that it absolutely is. We play all types of board games (abstract, party, thematic), but we tend to lean towards Euro Games. Games that usually have simple rules, relatively short playing times, and no player elimination, so they’re pretty accessible to newcomers. If you want to know more feel free to check out the (still being written) FAQ, but in a nutshell we're …

After helping form the San Fransisco and Seattle "Settler's of Catan" leagues, where executives from VC backed technology startups would gather, network, and play "Settler's of Catan," I decided that since I'm a New Yorker now, I would do the same here. The purpose of the group is for executives from New York technology startups to get together, network, play Settler's, and see who will be the "Lord of all Catan." We did this very successfully in both San Fransisco and Seattle.  We were covered …
