Ideally, you abide and enjoy the social contract when playing middle-weight board and card games. Bring to teach and learn to play. Somewhere in the dead-center of the board and card gaming universe are folks who want the challenge of learning and playing Euro and "Ameritrash" board games and card games. Those folks have a long and varied list of games they wish to play. When a game calls for it, those folks don't mind managing luck, being tinkered by or tinkering with others, and accepting vict …

This group features weekly games which embody our key concepts: 1. Intensity.  Games should encourage you to push yourself to your physical limits.  Most games will covertly employ the HIIT style of physical training.  I say covertly, for while your muscles might be screaming out like they do during any good exercise, you will be far too focused on capturing the flag to notice. 2. Creativity.  Sometimes unconventional, out-of-the-box thinking is damn near a requirement to winning.  Think "Ender' …

This meetup group will focus on gathering in public spaces to get our fill of Nintendo's brand of multiplayer excitement. All experience levels are welcome. And the classic "blue turtle shell" effect present in almost all Nintendo games tends to assure that …
