This meetup exists to facilitate tabletop board and role-playing games in the East Bay. We meet semi-regularly in the El Sobrante area (near Pinole and San Pablo), in the back of the El Sobrante public library (atop the site of an old Huichin village and burial ground). We are generally not hardcore gamers and hope to share a large spectrum of game play. We have played such games as Arkham Horror, Descent, Munchkin, Resistance, and Monopoly. Currently we are meeting semi-regularly (c.f. El Sobra …

We will meet  for some friendly socializing and fun game playing.  Our original group started with Scrabble.  We are now expanding  to include other fun games such as Boggle, Rummikub, Charades, hearts.  Does anyone know how to play Euchre??

I am a member of a bunch of fun MeetUp groups, but many are far away.  This one is to try and round up more local people for my favorite interests. This group is for all of us who live in Concord and beyond and still want to have fun but with a little less driving. The hope is for us to be able to find some local people who like to do whatever it is we like to do or, at the least, meet some cool people in the area.  We've got some great local resources out here, and we're well situated for esc …

Dominion is a fun, easy to learn, deck building card game. Each player starts with an identical, very small deck of cards. In the center of the table is a selection of other cards the players can "buy" as they can afford them. Through their selection of cards to buy, and how they play their hands as they draw them, the players construct their deck on the fly, striving for the most efficient path to the precious victory points by game end. 2-5 players. The game usually takes 30-45 minutes. No gam …

Great group for adults who enjoy ALL types of board and card games. I'm hoping we'll be able to have individual "Host" houses for small group get togethers. I'll encourage multiple meetups on the same day or weekend with alot of different games, giving members a choice on what they'll want to play. I personally prefer the fantasy, horror and science fictions games, so I'll be hosting these types of games at my house, with an occasional "traditional" game thrown in, for example, Risk, Chess and t …

Let's get together to play the Fantasy Strike customizable card game. If you're new, that's no problem. If you've already played at past events, that's fine too. This group is for anyone interested in trying out new card game ideas, as this game has some unusual mechanics. It's also a chance to get involved and help out with game balance, so both players and designers are welcome. Note: The point of this group is to meet in-person and play. This game is not a commercial product, it's not for sal …

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 …

We are a group of beer and wine lovers who enjoy meeting new grapes, trying wines we're unfamiliar with, comparing varietal wines produced in different growing regions, sampling interesting craft and import beers, etc. We typically meet on Thursday evenings at Wicked Wines in Healdsburg for a themed tasting (usually blind) and have now started a game night on Tuesday evenings where we can sip beers or wines of interest while playing old favorites or learning to play new games. Group choice; we h …

Calling all board game enthusiasts!

This is a new meetup group, so I'm open for suggestions about where this meetup group could go and what types of board games we could play - at this point, anything's "fair game" - haha. Once we have a few memb …
