Meetup to Play Board Games

About this event

We plan to play some short "filler" games until 6:15 so that anyone arriving slightly late won't be left out of games that have a longer play time. If you arrive after our start time, you are likely to encounter people who are already engrossed in a game. If this is the case, please introduce yourself to the host, and you may be able to join in, spectate or start a new game in parallel.

Newcomers to board games are welcome! We enjoy introducing games to those who haven't played them before. If there's a particular game that you think would be fun to play, feel free to bring it along.

We currently have a regular attendance of 15-20 people most weeks. In the past, we have played Acquire, Azul, Bang! The Dice Game, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Bohnanza, Camp Grizzly, Captain Sonar, Carcassonne, Chess, Citadels, Clank!, Codenames, Codenames Duet, Codenames: Pictures, Concept, Cosmic Encounter, Coup, Dead of Winter, Deception: Murder in Hong Kong, Dixit, Fabled Fruit, Family Business, Fearsome Floors, A Fistful of Meeples, Formula De, Formula Motor Racing, Harbour, Horrified, Just One, Kingdomino, Lanterns, Machi Koro, No Thanks!, Not Alone, One Night Ultimate Werewolf, Pandemic, Point Salad, Power Grid, Reef, The Resistance, Root, Rise of Augustus, Say Anything, Sea of Clouds, Settlers of Catan, Shadows: Amsterdam, Sheriff of Nottingham, Small World, Spyfall, Star Realms, Taboo, Terraforming Mars, Ticket to Ride: Europe, Ticket to Ride: London, Trivial Pursuit and Wingspan.

Please be gentle with the cards or game pieces you'll be handling. To ensure that they remain in good condition, please wash your hands before participating (especially if you've been eating food).

Cool Comics and Games in Cape Coral has graciously allowed us to meet at their shop for our game night. CC&G spans three rooms in the shopping center. We are meeting in the third one down, the one with the unmarked door and black curtains in the window (it's not as sketchy as it sounds!) We are usually sharing this space with the card game players (our group will be the ones with board game boxes stacked on the table). The CC&G staff will be happy to point you in the right direction if you're having trouble finding us. Just tell them you're there for the board game meetup. The shop's scheduled time of closing on Thursdays is 8:00pm, but they often stay open until 9:00 or later. So, the end time of our meetup is subject to whenever they tell us they need to close up for the night. If we want to continue using their space, we need to be respectful of the time that they tell us they need to close.
