What we’re about

So you've named your cat "Q". The bumper sticker on your car reads "My other car is the Millenium Falcon". You start affecting a British accent after watching Doctor Who. You own dice that have more than six sides. You sometimes mutter spells under your breath and marvel that they don't work (if they do work... I wanna meet you). You secretly hope to be bitten by a radioactive spider or wish you could go on a quest for Shikon Jewel shards. And you might even have more toys now than you ever had as a child...

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

This group is designed to bring together "nerds" and "geeks"... those enthusiastic fans of science fiction, fantasy, anime, and comic books.

We'll get together a couple times a month, sometimes doing something related to our passions (a sci-fi movie, convention, show) or just get together to hang out and socialize (mini-golf, comedy show, dinner). Hopefully we'll make friends, have good times, discover the secrets of the universe (42) and take over the galaxy (well, only if it's for the greater good). Our meetup locations will vary... some will be in King of Prussis, others might be in various surrounding towns or even downtown Philly. At this time there are no plans to hold any meetups on any other planets or in any other dimensions... but that can change and we are open to suggestions.

Live Long and Prosper!

Mon, Apr 21, 2025, 6:00 PM EDTMonday BOARD GAMES at Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen (126 Chestnut St)
Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen, Philadelphia, PA
"Monday Board Games Night is the most fun you can have in Philly on a Monday"
~TripAdvisor

location: Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen (126 Chestnut Street in Old City)
time: 6pm - 10pm ..... cost: FREE to attend

Starting Monday February 12th, we'll be moving our Board Games Night to Glory Beer Bar and you can arrive early for Happy Hour! The entire evening will run from 6pm to 10pm, starting with Happy Hour which runs until 6:30pm. We will be setting up on the 2nd Floor, a large space with big tables and our own bar where we can order food & drinks!

Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen (126 Chestnut Street)
Ideally located in Old City on Chestnut Street between Front & 2nd Streets, Glory feels both old & new. The exposed brick walls harken to Philly's colonial past, while their selection of many beers, wines, and food are a perfect fit for today's tastes. The affordable menu welcomes all palates, including a number of vegetarian and vegan options! And the tables on the second floor look large enough for both food & board gaming at the same time.

Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen has a revolving menu of 36 beers on tap featuring a variety of American and Local Breweries while also offering a wide array of International and Seasonal favorites. In addition to the extensive beer offerings, Glory has a dedicated tap system to red, white and rosé wine. Additionally, skilled bartenders can create a cocktail of your choosing using the finest spirits and freshest ingredients.

I'm seeing these Mondays as the perfect way to start the week -- beers or dinner with friends, plus chill and enjoy board games, maybe meeting some new friends! Kinda what MeetUp is all about, right?

I'll be adding details in the Comments and please feel free to also comment or ask questions. Additionally, you are welcome to mention which games you plan to bring in the comments as well.

Can't wait, see you there!

Tue, Apr 22, 2025, 6:00 PM EDTTUESDAY Board Games Night at Ladder 15 (1528 Sansom Street)
Ladder 15, Philadelphia, PA
They said "No way, it will never happen"
They were WRONG

Yes, Tuesday Board Games Night becomes a thing!
We'll start gathering at Ladder 15 at 6pm and we can essentially stay as late as we'd like (bar closes at either midnight or 2am, not sure).

In addition to board games and affordable food & drinks, there is also KARAOKE!

note: There will still be Monday Board Games Night at The Bourse, but with changes happening there, I felt it was prudent to add an extra night for us.

This will be a FREE event to attend, and I will bring some board games but I'm also counting on many of you to bring some as well. There are pluses & minuses to every Board Games Night location we've been at, and I am sure Ladder 15 is no exception; however what has drawn me to set us up here on Tuesdays is:

better & longer gaming hours for us

better & more regular food menu (affordably priced) plus a full bar for the drinkers in our group

terrific Center City location on the 1500 block of Sansom Street

last but not least, friendly staff that is welcoming & wanting to be understanding to the needs of our group

Wow, I'm excited & hope you are too! Yes its a free event, but please RSVP so we know to expect you for the 1st Night. And if you are bringing board games, you are welcome to mention it in the Comments below.

see you there!

Thu, Apr 24, 2025, 11:00 PM UTCOnline Settlers of Catan board game MeetUp -- Thursdays
Link visible for attendees
Hi Group! We're restarting our popular Online Board Games on Thursdays. So far everyone that has joined us has wanted to play Settlers of Catan, so I am changing the name of the Event to reflect that.

Thursdays 7pm (it's OK to be late, but I'd suggest RSVPing so we know to expect you.

We'll be meeting at a new Discord run by our friend Nishi, here's the link:
https://discord.gg/VJHNBytN

I will be playing Catan online using Catan Universe. If you wish to play Catan with us, I suggest getting yourself set in advance. The Catan Universe app has a one time $5 charge (I think it is still $5) to play the Base game (regular Settlers of Catan). Many of us also like to play Cities & Knights with Seafarers, and if it that interests you, there are also one time charges to purchase those add-ons.

Honestly, for a onetime $5 fee, it seems like a really good deal. Many of us purchased this so we could play with each other during Covid, and we're still playing!

You are welcome to let friends know about this, the more the merrier!

Feel free to leave comments below, see you on Discord!
David & Nishi

Note: we're doing this to have fun and connect with friends or meet new people who share our interest in online board games. It's that simple. If you can't be a good sport or behave appropriately, then be mature enough to know that this series of is NOT for you.
