Hopkinton Board Games is a group for gamers to get together and play non-traditional board games in the Hopkinton area. What are "non-traditional" games? Games like Last Night on Earth, Pandemic and other euro style board games. We do not play games like Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit or Yahtzee. We will bring games for people to play and other people can feel free to bring games also. We are currently playing on Saturdays because it was voted the best day for everyone in a poll. We alternate between …

Hi everyone! I'm Karen, the organizer of this group.

Name: Karen Owen Location: Methuen, MA Able to Host? If so, what equipment/games do you own? Yes.. I have a large family room and plenty of parking outside on a long driveway and a cul-de-sac. I have an Xbox 360, and most of the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games for Xbox. I own a Wii but …

Come play some of the more modern Euro and non-traditional board games out there and meet new people and have fun! We are loosely based in Norwood, MA., so most of the meetups will be local to that area.

Welcome! This group is for those in Boston who like to play strategy (and slightly silly) games and be social at the same time. It is perhaps easiest to break this down word by word: Strategy games: We will not be playing Apples to Apples, LCR, or even Monopoly here. Instead, the gaming focus of this group will be on strategy games, games that make you think and plan ahead, such as Ticket to Ride, Dominion, Puerto Rico, Settlers of Catan, Power Grid, Agricola, and many more. Of course, we don't …

Whether you are a 15-year veteran or are just beginning how to play, you'll find MTG Boston to be the best place to get …

… Finally, we often have other word games, such as Bananagrams and Boggle after the Scrabble fun has finished. We've just gotten on a regular schedule of meeting every other Sunday at 12 in Davis Square, Somerville (on the MBTA Red Line). I think this schedule works well for everyone, but I'm open to other ideas. If any of this sounds like fun, this is the group for you! We welcome all new members to come check us out.

  Chess is an incredible game...but with all the smartphones, Xboxes, iPads, and iPods out there, it sometimes gets lost in the shuffle. In fact, games don't have to be played in high def or with high-tech controllers to be fully engaging. Chess is one of those games. With a simple board and 32 pieces, chess continues to captivate amateurs and grandmasters alike. All you need is a basic knowledge of how the pieces move, a fair amount of concentration and insight and you have become a viab …

Check out my home game! www.BostonHomeGame.com This used to be the BPC. If you knew it, or knew of it. Then you know it was AWESOME late night poker all the time. We were serious about our poker, even if it wasn't always serious poker. It's against the law to run a poker house, so this is my super-pumped-up home poker game. Most of the tournaments are between $30-$100. There are 3-4 games each week, and they'll be posted on the calender. There's always a cash game after the tourn …

I started this group because of all the awesome mobile games I see coming out of Boston. There is a ton of great talent here and we could all learn a lot and benefit greatly from getting together.
