History:
In 2017, the Scotts Valley Library decided to start hosting a board game event (for adults) twice a month. A number of people from another local board game meetup started showing up, and with time a number of folks learned about the event and joined in. Right before Covid started, we were meeting around 6 times a month in the Scotts Valley and Felton libraries. Some Saturdays we had up to 25 people show up to play games.

With Covid a few of us moved online to Discord and continued to play together. A number of things have changed since then. Our library contacts have changed jobs, some people moved, etc.

As the restrictions were winding own, we set up another series of events at the Felton library. Our current group is much smaller than before but we meet regularly to play games of all levels of complexity and seriousness.
