See all- Fayetteville Beer Works Board Game Night!Fayetteville Beer Works, Fayetteville, AR
We’re so back!
Hey you, person who's interested in board games and has free time on Tuesday!
Whether you are brand new to board games, or a longtime veteran, I encourage you to join us join us every Tuesday for a wonderful night of board games, food, and drink at Fayetteville Beer Works! Any and all are welcome!
Where and When?
- Fayetteville Beer Works**,** Address: 2649 E Mission Blvd #1, Fayetteville, AR 72703.
- 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm every Tuesday for the foreseeable future.
What do I need to do?
If you are new, and/or shy, don't worry! There will be an awkwardly tall, loud woman who gets cold easily. That's me! I'll get you ushered into a game that suits your fancy, and give you a name tag if you so choose. And if I'm not there, someone will be there to take my place! That's all. This not a structured event where we plan what games we will play in advance. People can play and/or bring whatever games they want :)I do encourage people who have board games they want to play to bring them !!! (if they want to. it's not a requirement) I'll always bring a lot of my own games, but variety is the spice of life.
Also, we're running a board game convention:
I am part of a non-profit organization called Meeple Academy that's running a board game convention in Bentonville called AdventureCon.
It'll be this Memorial Day weekend, May 24th - May 26th at the four points Sheraton hotel.- May 24th - May 26th, 2024
- 211 SE Walton Blvd, Bentonville, AR 72712
If you're interested, please click this link to preorder a ticket and/or get more information: https://tabletop.events/conventions/adventurecon
Last thing:
For transparency's sake, we do receive 10% of the proceeds from this event. As a member of Meeple Academy, I can assure you those proceeds will be put back into the community through making a better convention, running welcoming events, and supplying public spaces with board games. We're a fairly new organization, and are still figuring things out. But we do genuinely want to make the lives of NWA's denizens more vibrant, one board game at a time. - Fayetteville Beer Works Board Game Night!Fayetteville Beer Works, Fayetteville, AR
