What we’re about
We're a local community centered around board games, card games, and pen & paper roleplaying games. We get together every Wednesday at Empire for an evening of intermediate to advanced board games. We often raise money for local charities and give away board games, generously donated by sponsors.
If your board game preferences lean more toward the classics such as Monopoly, Clue, Mexican Trains, and/or similar light games, please check out other Albuquerque Meetup groups, as Dukes Night caters specifically to modern, more complex games.

Why play at Empire when free events are available?
Experience: Our Storytellers have been running Blood on the Clocktower events several times a month for over a year!
Community: Our Storytellers are great at running games, sure, but they have also cultivated a welcoming and respectful player community. New and returning players are both welcome and encouraged - and respect, well, the people who play at Empire respect not only one another's preferred pronouns and personal beliefs - but also everyone's time. Flakes are a rarity, and we are usually notified in advance so that necessary adjustments can be made. You won't experience delays in the game due to half-committed people wandering around - we're here to play!
