Meet new friends groups near Abbotsford, BC
Fraser Valley Gamers
Abbotsford, BC
Come and play tabletop games with us!
Whether you've only played Scrabble and Monopoly, or can throw down with the best 18XX'ers, come out and join us at the table.
Our group meets for Open Gaming at the Boardwalk Cafe and the Clearbrook Library, where we play a large variety of card, board, and roleplaying games. You can also find us throughout the week hosting smaller groups and playing specific games that may not otherwise make it to the table. We're definitely growing and always on the lookout for new best friends.
We're glad you found us; there's plenty of room at the table.
PS — If you're into designing games or simply thinking about them critically, check out our other Meetup group, Fraser Valley Playtesters.

The hype is real. Biohacking is the next big thing and has the potential to become a mass phenomenon and health revolution. It covers a current human need that is basically unmet today – the need to know what goes on inside our bodies when we’re eating, drinking, working, and moving.
So do you have a desire to not only rule yourself, but become the perfect version of yourself, gain an unfair advantage in life, maximize results, and supercharge your performance? If the answer is YES then I invite you to attend, participate, and grow with us in building a community around finding out what’s possible with our biology in the 21st century.
So, are you “Bio curious”? .

Fraser Valley Playtesters
Abbotsford, BC
Are you a game designer looking for high-quality feedback on your projects? Are you an avid fan of games of all kinds who enjoys picking apart a game and understanding how it works?
We want to help local designers create their best games by giving them an opportunity to play them with real people. From mechanisms, presentation, or pacing through to balance, rules writing, or finding that elusive fun factor, we’re focused on iterating and improving.
Everyone is welcome: whether you’ve published a game or are just formulating your first idea; whether you’re a game enthusiast or just discovered you enjoy playing games. If you’re willing to share your project, to play games that may not work, or both, please join us at the table.
We meet regularly to play new games, then discuss the experience and give constructive feedback. While we are mostly focused on tabletop games, we’ll do our best to facilitate your needs. Have a video game that needs some testing or a roleplaying game that would benefit from multiple play sessions? We can try to set up specific events, just for your game.
Join now and help us create better games in a supportive and constructive atmosphere.
PS -- If you're into playing tabletop games, check out our other Meetup group, Fraser Valley Gamers.
