Ready to Organize Board Game Sessions and Meet New People? 🎲✨
This group is designed for people serious about organizing board game sessions and building real connections. Whether you’re an experienced gamer or a beginner, if you're ready to take the lead and engage, this is the right place for you! It’s especially helpful if you’ve struggled to find a consistent and active group on Meetup. We focus on genuine participation, so if you're looking for a fun, active community to organize games and connect with others, we’re glad to have you! 😄💬

Important Guidelines
To ensure the group stays active and engaged, please propose or ask to play a game within 15 days of joining. This keeps the group focused and ensures only serious participants are involved. If you don’t engage within this timeframe, you’ll be removed to keep the group from being cluttered with inactive members. We want to make sure this is a space for active, committed players who are here to enjoy games and meet new people! 🕒

How It Works:
Using the Group Discussion:

• Propose a game: Got a game you own and love? Share it in the group and invite others to join you! Be sure to mention your availability—include the days or specific dates you’re free to play. You’ll need to bring the game to the venue (e.g., a public bar or another location). 🗓️
• Ask to play a game: Want to try a specific game but don’t own it? Post your request in the group and ask if others have it and are available to play. 🎮
• Propose a place to play: Know a great venue for game nights (e.g., one with a collection of board games or a space suitable for groups)? Suggest the location and provide a reason why it’s ideal (e.g., they have a selection of games, good seating, or a relaxed atmosphere). Also, mention the time that works for you. 📍

Everyone is Welcome!
This group is for all skill levels and those new to town. Whether you’re eager to organize a game, find a venue, or try something new, you’re encouraged to get involved. 🌍

Invite your friends who enjoy board games—more people means more opportunities to play and create connections! 🙌

FAQ
Q: Is this how Meetup is supposed to work?
A: Meetup can be whatever we want it to be! For inspiration, check out the awesome Friendley Board Games Lazy Lake group who are actively organizing events in the group discussions: Friendley Board Games Lazy Lake.

Q: All cool, but in practice how can I propose an event?
A: The best way is to make a concrete and precise proposal like:
"Let’s meet at [insert bar, public space, or even your place if you’re comfortable] at [specific time and date]."
It’s much more effective than saying, "I prefer Tuesdays or Wednesdays." If everyone only states preferences, nothing happens. Concrete proposals lead to action. It might feel challenging at first, but you can do it! Just write a post in the group discussion with your proposal.

Looking forward to seeing your events! 🎉
